Mine is also the 29th! But unfortunately it's the 29th of July. But I've waited this long, my day too will come. ????

Hey Peg, thanks! Funny enough I wish I had 2 weeks to go lol. My doctor didn't have me on a liquid diet, I got to have Protein Shakes and fruits and meats, just weighed out. I don't think I could survive on 2 weeks of liquids, good luck ! I'll see you on the flip side, so we can exchange recipes at some point soon !

Mea culpa yours is the 30th. My mistake. Sometimes my excitement gets ahead of me. Aside from the date everything else I said stands!

Congrats!! Mine is Wednesday. Super nervous and excited. Been on semi liquids since last Sunday by choice. Doc said 1 week, after eating everything I could think of I started 3 days earlier.

I actually have cried a lot today. Both good tears and fear tears. But mostly good tears. I'm glad I finally stuck up for myself and determined I am worthy of feeling better about myself.

You were always worthy Kell, it's just a matter of realizing it, and I'm glad you did ! I know that this is the best thing for us both, the way I'm looking at it is that this is just the scary part before our new lives begin. I just finished crying, not sure what your hospital is like but my nurse at doctors office said she'll have the nurses at the hospital give me something for the anxiety before the surgery... What time is your surgery ? Mine is going to be around 11:30, sadly I'm the 3rd person tomorrow ????

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
