Update. Oh my goodness. Surgery went good from what my husband said. Doc did find and repair a hiatal hernia while in there. The gas pains I'm assuming in my upper belly and both shoulders is almost bringing me to tears. Have only walked so far as to go to the bathroom twice. Shift change in an hour. I will try the bathroom again and then try walking to see if I relieve this pain. Still on IV fluids. Out of all day I have had only had two ice chips. Mouth is so dry.

July 28!! Suppose to start the liquid diet on the 12th, but started today.

I'm very excited and not the least bit nervous.... so far. I don't usually worry about things until it's time to happen. I'm suppose to be at the hospital at 5 am and scheduled for 7 am, so I won't have much time to be nervous.

If I don't quit having food funerals, I am going to gain 20 pounds before my surgery.

Me too I'm 8/8 so I'm not quite at liquid diet stage yet. I made a list of all the things I'd really miss and have been eating them all! I try to balance it out (Greek yogurt, salad, Protein drinks.. then enchiladas and margaritas for dinner...) but I'm SO afraid to see my surgeon next week because as of today I'm 4 lbs above where I was when I saw him the first time a few months ago. I'm ready to take this leap and commit and do it right, but also, I want to say goodbye to ice cream. Ugh.

My surgery is on the 28th too! I started my pre-op a little early with some solid Protein until the 11th. My liquid starts on the 14th!

I'm not nervous either...just planning and preparing to take advantage of that first 6 to 9 months!

How long until the magnesium citrate works? I finished the bottle about an hour ago and now I'm just waiting.

I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

I will be converting my band to sleeve on July 8th.

At my pre op today my surgeon was happy to see I've lost 26 pounds for surgery. All my tests are done.

Surgery is next week!!! I'm thrilled! So here comes the question....

Did anyone use norco for pain relief after surgery?

Good morning all. For those that asked. I'm in Arkansas. It's 4:42 am now. I got up walked quite a bit last night. I have taken myself to the bathroom every time after first initial time. IV fluids and antibiotics are still in. Wish that would come out. But it's for my own good. Slept off and pretty well. Having upper pain a bit still and upper chest/shoulder pain. But it's not enough that I need pain meds. I only had two ice chips in recovery. And three since I been in my room and I got extremely nauseous to where I haven't tried to eat anymore ice chips. . Idk if that is going to bad on me when doc gets here. He is supposed to come in and see me from what I've been told by 7am. Nurses have already said for sure I will be here tonight too. Which doc did tell me he likes his patients to stay two nights. Hope everyone else is doing well. Thank you all. Continuing praying for a speedy recovery.

      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!
