So I had my preop stuff done today (labs, ekg, and nutrition consult). I'm officially down 16 pounds from 22 days of preop diet and am ready to roll for surgery tomorrow!!! Super antsy and want it to be done!!!! The hotel and staff are amazing and their chicken broth is unbelievably yummy!!! Now I get to busy myself with some shopping!

You totally have this! I was in your spot a couple days ago. I'm so thrilled already with my decision, so proud of myself. You will be too. Getting to this point is the hardest part. Best of luck!

It really hasn't been bad. I was the first one for today and I've been up walking and sipping Water and juice. I did vomit twice after both times they gave me IV pain medicine. It was just toradol not even a narcotic I'm a really weenie with meds though. My throat is sore from tube but nothing bad and one incision is a little sore but still not bad. Oh and didn't have to have a grain. All is easy peasy so far!

I've got crazy hiccups now. That's a little on ouchy side for sure! I didn't keep it a secret from anyone but I definitely had people telling me not to do it. Just diet and exercise more. Those people obviously didn't understand me. I would tell them I am doing it because it's the best choice for me and I'm happy that that is what works for them.

      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!
