Scheduled for Wednesday, June 13th. So nervous. Can anyone tell me if they needed help at the hospital that afternoon or if they were fine being there alone. My husband will be there in the morning for surgery but I planned on him going home after to take care of kids.

My thought is you've waited this long and done the hard work might as well bite the bullet and embrace your new life style :). My date is 7/20 so on day 5 of my liquid diet. Literally cried over Jello last night lol. The closer it gets the more apprehensive I become but after a stern talking to and asking the question "Why the heck would I want to delay a happier healthier me" I drink another Protein shake and keep myself busy. Change is hard and we are chasing our lives in the biggest possible way. It helped me to remember the reasons I started this journey and keeps me chugging along.

Thanks. That was an awesome reply. You are right! Hang in there with the pre-op diet. They moved my surgery to Aug 1 which was better for my work schedule. So I'm keeping the date!

      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!
