Today is the day!



Recommended Posts

My surgery day is here. I slept fine, but woke up early but I'm treating my day as I normally would before the surgery (Walking the dog at ex time, watching tv until I normally would get ready for work, going to take my daughter to school then.... make sure I'm packed for my stay). I'm a ball of emotions- excited to start this part of my journey, anxious as my insides will be rearranged. I'm nauseous, literally, with nerves. I tried a sip of Water, didn't help. I can have Clear liquids until 8am.

But I am thankful today is the day! No doubt. I feel blessed for this opportunity and I've worked hard to get where I am. Think of me today, I'll try to post this evening. My surgery is at 11:45am.

      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!
