I am so very depressed about my surgery being postponed due to my dr. becoming ill. I hope getting my new date, hopfully tomorrow, will make me feel better. I have been crying all afternoon on and off. I think it really took a mental toll on me.:cry

Wish I could help you. I would talk you into taking a short slow walk with me. I would take you to the local library and we could look at magazines together.

Sometimes our life tests us.

I postponed my surgery so I could go on vacation. I didn't want to be banded on vacation. I wish now I would have gone ahead with it.

I didn't know any better.

Best wishes for a quick date,

edie

I am so sorry to hear about your surgery being rescheduled. I know how you feel. You have prepared yourself in so many ways. I know this must be devistating for you, I almost had to reschedule mine, down to the Tuesday before my Friday surgery. I cried and cried. Let it out. Just know that this is not the end, you can and will be able to go through with it. Time is your enemy now, but it won't be for long. God bless and hang in there! I will be thinking about you! let us know how you are doing!

Hi Deb,

I'm very sorry that this has happened, but at least your Dr. didn't try to preform surgery on you while being sick and let you know this ahead of time. Sometimes God has his way of helping us out of troubled situations at the time but we don't realize it until later.

If your Dr. had tried to do the surgery and did something wrong, it could of been devestating for you. So think of it in this way, and I don't want it to sound badly, but at least if if you are a bit down now, at least you're here, alive and well, and just waiting on another "birthday". At least you won't have to wait a whole year like the other one!!!

I too had my surgery postponed. I was scheduled for 6/27/07, but my Dr. is going to be out of town, so now I have to wait 5 more days.

I know when 6/27 comes and goes I will be feeling down also, but I try to look at it this way. I now have 5 more days to educate myself on the band, and 5 more days to eat whatever I want, and 5 more days to appreciate the opportunity to have this surgey in the first place.

This is what will make those 5 days fly by so fast that the surgery will be there before I know it.

Keep your head up, and take a deep breath. You know all good things are worth the wait!!!!!!!

Lynette

      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!
