My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Crazy! Now I just have to get through the next few days of my pre-op diet and get to the hospital on time. (We won't discuss the loose ends at work, the kids, the husband, etc...) :)

I was so excited on my surgery day that I was bouncing up and down on the gurney in the pre-op (before that awesome sedative anyway). My friend who brought me to the hospital asked, "You do realize you're having a surgery, right?"

A decision I'll never regret almost 130 lbs and 10 pant sizes later!

Best of luck on your surgery! Keep us updated if you can!

don't worry about those family "loose ends" ;)

they will take care of themselves

you are on the front burner :)

its YOUR turn to be treated extra special/get huggggs etc :)

these next few days you'll maybe be running around like a chicken without a head ;)

this is an exciting time for you

before you know it you will be taking a nap while the docs do "their thing" :)

get plenty of rest PO

drfink drink and then drink

at this time - drinking is more important than Protein

did you know there is "scientific" proof that the best day to get sleeved is on January 14th :blush:

good luck

speedy recovery :)

      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!
