Wow the day has come. I don't know about anyone else but I'm scared out of my mind. I want to do it but now I think my nerves are getting to me. My surgery is at 10:30am . Any advice would help me.

I would try to relax and think happy thoughts about all of the benefits you will get from this. Once the team starts prepping you the medications will help calm your nerves.

Don't get discouraged this afternoon if you have some pain or discomfort which is completely normal on the day of surgery. If they offer you pain meds take them, or if they give you a PCA (pain button) use it. Just do what the medical staff says and you should feel much better shortly after and be well on your way to recovery and success!

You are going to do great. I had mine done on Monday and I am feeling much much better today. The first day was rough just take your pain medicine and walk as much as you can it really does help.

      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!
