Ok, so I was originally scheduled for October 20th, but now they moved it to October 13th! I am feeling every singe emotion there is out there. I am more excited than anything, but also scared, nervous, anxious...EVERYTHING! I almost cried today making a cup of pumpkin coffee, thinking about how I won't be able to have it for a long time. I am so ready to give up a lot of foods, as my eating of them in large quantities is what got me to this point.

I have a super supportive husband, which is helping me out a lot. Just so many emotions!

@@Julie2879 It's normal to feel nervous, scared, anxious, etc. Think of all the great things that are yet to come - rather than mourn those that you may have to give up for a little while. You'll do great - stay strong and positive!!!

@@Julie2879 I was shocked when I got my pre-op and surgery date. Last Thursday or Friday they called and said pre-op is I think thurs of this week and surgery on the 11th. I had plans to fly that day to see my son. I had to weight my options he will be there in 2 weeks when I am cleared to fly. It all came do quick and to top it off i am a smoker. Cold turkey. Didn't think I could do it but I am... yyiippppeee. What happens st pre-op?

      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.

      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!
