Just had my consultation on Thursday, May 12. Psych and nutritionist visit on June 1. EDG on June 6. Still have to find a PCP who will do labs and recommend the surgery, but this is happening very FAST. The thought of the EDG freaks me out. Like I almost had a panic attack talking about it with the coordinator. Someone please tell me it's not as awful as it sounds. [emoji15]

EGD was a piece of [emoji513]!

Psych and NUT visit were fine as well. Psych recommended I see a specialist for treatment of PTSD, but still approved me for surgery [emoji4]. I was previously told by a psych that I had symptoms of PTSD and I didn't follow through with treatment. Going to do everything needed to be successful so I'll be calling in Monday for an appt with a trauma specialist. Surgery date is July 27. Cleaning out my pantry (and closet/house). I have a few restaurants picked out that I want to go to before my liquid diet starts on July 13. This is happening VERY quickly!

Saw my PCP on Tuesday. EKG done, and blood work done. Just waiting on PCP to review results and send clearance to surgeon. I've always been relatively healthy (no comorbidity), so I'm hoping nothing has changed in the last couple of years since my last blood panel [emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256][emoji256]

      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.

      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!
