Okay, this is it! I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. for a 9:30 surgery. I am absolutely beside myself. Had a bowl of Soup for dinner and am having a cup of tea now. Water till 10:00 then nothing after that. So many emotions right now. Sad that I let myself get to this point. Excited about the future me. Nervous that I won't wake up from the surgery. Anxious and nauseous. OMGI think I should just go to bed and get this ball rolling. Just don't think I can sleep. Hopefully I can update this post tomorrow afternoon and be alive and as upbeat as you all have been. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. You have no idea how much it has helped me. Goodnight all. "See" you tomorrow!

Lol I slept like a baby the night before I guess that's the thing about being sleep deprived from video games lol....

You'll be fine, I actually expected everything to be worst than it really was. Your imagination is far worst.

      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!
