Having OP tomorrow 7 Nov



Recommended Posts

I am one year out. My best advice is to sit back, enjoy the ride, and take it all in. It is an amazing adventure. Though you are probably a little scared or nervous, this is all a part of embarking on something truly remarkable. If you are still a little too jittery in the morning, they doctor can always put something in your IV to calm you down while you wait. You will just need to ask because they don't always offer.

Best of luck tomorrow. I know you will do awesome. I am so excited for the amazing journey you are about to go on. Please keep us all updated on your progress!

Thanks Jonathan. You really encouraged me emensly. I'm in South Africa and my twin had the same op by the same Dr so I'm confident in his ability. Will keep you updated. Regards. Verina

      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!
