I don't feel scared... But....



Recommended Posts

So my surgery date is September 14th and I did have alot of anxiety at first about having surgery but now I'm approved I feel sort of calm about it but I do suffer from horrible anxiety and even though my mind doesn't feel anxious my body is sure showing me signs I am. Shaky hands. Shortness of breath diarrhea (graffic sorry) I'm scared mentally I'm blocking it and the day before surgrey I'm gonna break! Anyone else feel this way?

I'm sorry your body is showing signs of anxiety. I suffer from anxiety and wrestled with it off and on before surgery. I hope you can talk to your surgeon. Come here to these forums and ask any questions you may have; people here want to help. Read posts by other people. Keep educating yourself. Above all...deep breath in, slowly let it out. Repeat. I hope you feel better soon!

      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.

      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!
