In twelve hours from now I will be having my first surgery ever!! I'm not nervous about recovery but being put to sleep and getting a catheter is nerve racking! Plus, I'm on my period :/ I'm so thankful for all the stories I've read to prepare myself and look forward to being on the losers bench :)

I'm getting sleeved on Tuesday, I'm on my period too! Ugh. Like I needed an extra reason to be cranky other than 3 days on Clear Liquids. Lol

Good luck!! Catheter won't be as bad as you think, I had those with my c-sections. It doesn't hurt, just feels weird, but that's only when they are taking it out, while it's in place you won't feel it at all. :-)

Catheter truthfully is no big deal to have.

They most likely will only leave it in until the day after surgery so you don't have to worry about getting up unless you feel good enough to the first day and not groggy.

Them putting you out is one minute your alert and next asleep. It goes very quickly and you be awake again in recovery then to your room.

I know this because I've been under a few times for different surgeries.

Try get some rest tonight and try not to think to much about it.

Good luck tomorrow and when you feel up to it let us know how things went for you.

Take care.

Hi all, today I am 5 days post op and doing great, had no gas or nausea in hospital or since I have been home. Tummy and stomach pain but that is me recoverying. I am really focusing on getting loquids and protiens in and going ok. Stomach gets upset some times but think this is drinking to much at one time or to fast (still learning). Making smoothies with my protien dri today had some refriend Beans and cheese from Taco Bell about 2 ounces. I beleive this is sooner then should but really wanted something with some texture, and so far so good, tummy gurgling a little but think all ok.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
