Today is my last supervised visit and I have absolutely everything completed. The surgery coordinator will be submitting my paperwork for approval on Monday 8/17/2015. I am sooooo nervous and excited! I am hoping to get some good vibes sent my way to keep my nerves calm

You know, I have had a lot of surgeries in my life. Several very big scary ones. With this particular surgery I never got that anxiety that I have had with others. I was way more excited about getting that part done with so I could get my health back.

Try to keep that excited feeling, the surgery was a piece of cake for me personally. Once it is done you get to start a whole new chapter in your life where you get your health back and feel great in a very short amount of time.

You are going to do great! Go in to it with a positive attitude and you will recover quickly!

Good luck to you and see you in the losers club

I can't wait for you to experience that feeling..it's going to hit you like a ton of bricks! It's a huge sigh of relief and you feel accomplished. All of the hard work you've done to get to this point is worth every minute.

And then it only gets better from there :)

      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.

        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!
