Not uncommon. Keep an open line of communication with your surgery center. If you can't get answers that way then call your insurance company direct and see if there is a delay.

Start preop low carb diet in two days. Don't have a clue what I will eat. I am a carb addict and I think this will be much more difficult than liquids. Already weaning off coffee.

When did your surgeon's office submit to insurance? My surgeon won't even schedule until insurance approval so I'm just waiting.

Day one of preop low carb diet. So far so good. Still a major mental battle. I want everything I can't have.

Low carb weekend. Went to a restaurant and didn't pig out. Just wasn't tempted. Choosing what to order was difficult but I think I made food choices and left a lot on the plate. Six more days of low carb then two days of liquids only. Rhis hasn't been as rough as I anticipated.

So....finished the low carb part. Two days of liquids the surgery! I think I have done well following the plan and not as difficult as I anticipated. I did have some ice cream today as part of my last supper.

      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!
