Surgery is in 5 hours! Scared, nervous, excited. I have 2 kids that will be home with my husband 7 and 7 months so that scares me the most!

Wish me luck!

I'm glad I saw your post.

I also have two children 2 and 3 1/2 years old.

My friend at work today told me to write things down I want my children to know, because if anything happens to me they won't remember me.

Now I feel lost and super sad about this.

I have my date 12/2, but now I feel completely horrible about it because of what she said. How did you deal with people and there comments?

Ignore that "friend" and keep telling yourself that you are doing this for your children. So that you will be able to participate in their play times, and keep up with them on the playground. You've got this! Thoughts and prayers go with you as you begin this to a healthier you.

      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!
