I'm going in for surgery in just 3 days. Praying my period ends before Friday! This sucks! But I'm excited nonetheless. Scared. Battling when to tell my mom. She'll freak and worry. I need positive energy. She needs to be supportive . If she doesn't have a choice and it's done already maybe that's better. But I don't want to hurt her not telling her ahead of time. So conflicted

I haven't told a few people either. One being a close relative who is a doctor. But I want prayer for my surgery and positive thoughts not negative ones. So because I have to have a hernia repair also, for those people, I will be asking for prayer and tell them later that I also had weight loss surgery. That way I won't have to hear what they have to say. Because although relevant, I have done all the research I needed to, I have prayed about it, & I know that I made the right decision. I hope that helps

I really dreaded telling my parents, but they shocked me with their positive response. They seem genuinely happy and excited for me. I think they know I made a good decisions.

ahh!!! me too. I decided I am not going to tell anyone. Only my wife knows. Just don't want friends and family to worry and there are some who just don't understand the surgery itself... whatever you choose, best of luck. good luck on your surgery too

      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.

      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!
