I don't want to identify myself YET but let's just say I was on a certain reality show and won money for losing weight on my own. That was 8'years ago. I kept it off for about 5 but then had surgeries and was severely anemic. That coupled with another issue and I gained a bit back. I'm super short so I decided to give myself this gift. I shouldn't HAVE to work out 2 + hours a day to maintain weight loss. I don't even eat poorly. Just too much of the healthy stuff. (Pretty certain my body believes it's a 6'7" NBA player) in any event my surgery is tomorrow and I'm terrified. There's nothing I hate more than throwing up. Tell me I'll be ok. Thanks in advance.

It is a wonderful thing that you are doing for yourself. You will feel better very soon. Just start walking as soon as they let you. That really helps.

Good luck!

Good luck! My surgery is next Wed. and I can definitely empathize with your fears and trepidations. I also find it interesting how each of us seems to have a different thing that scares us the most. I'm not worried at all about vomiting, but anesthesia scares the living daylights out of me. I'll tell you what people keep telling me, stay strong, stay brave, nothing is going to happen that shouldn't happen and this is nothing compared to other things you've been through.

I remember being soooo scared! It was only 10 weeks ago. :) I almost had a panic attack. But everything went great! Best thing I've ever done for myself. I'm sure it will go great for you too! Good luck tomorrow!!!

I sympatize! I'm sure you'll do just fine though :) I'm with you with the fear of vomiting. There is nothing I hate more either-mainly because I rarely throw-up, but when I do, my body gives it everything it has which makes it much worse because I fear I'll damage something shortly after surgery. But that fear and the many other fears I have surrounding having this surgery, don't compare to the fear of continuing to live like this.

Best of luck with your surgery! :)

Thanks guys. I'm actually excited about the anesthesia. Had to go under for my upper endoscopy. Right before I went down my dr, knowing I was a comic said, any last words. I replied "I know you're using propophyl. And I'm very aware of what the outcome could be. Keep in mind my sister is a lawyer. And we're Jewish" :)

Welcome! How are you feeling? Did everything go okay?

My surgery is Monday - I'm totally freaking out right now. I'm supposed to be working, but I cannot motivate myself to do it. LOL.

      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.

        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!
