Anyone going around that time? I'm going to Dr. M. Doesn't feel real yet. Lol

Maybe it will when I buy my plane ticket.

I'm scheduled for the 19th and I'm like you in the sense that it doesn't feel real. One day I'm excited and can't wait, and the next I get nervous and my anxiety kicks in. Good luck and a speedy recovery!!

I am scheduled for surgery on Feb 13th with Dr. Maytorena. And my mother is also having the surgery. We both booked our flights as soon as we were given our surgery date.

I swear I replied yesterday. I guess it didn't go through. I'm also booked with Dr. M. I switched my date and bought my ticket yesterday.

I am booked for January 5th.

I'm also having my surgery on Feb. 13th, but with Dr. Cabrera (MBC). Like you, I also booked my tickets once I got my surgery date - but I do have a lot further to go, being in Japan - tickets get a lot more expensive once you are within the two-three month mark.

I booked my flights with American Airlines, partly due to the flight schedule I needed & partly because the tiny airport I'm flying out of only offers AA & Delta flights.

I imagine your ticket was quit a bit more. Unfortunately, I didn't get a great deal either due to the fact that I'm flying out of a teeny tiny airport, instead of just driving the 2.5 hrs to the nearest international airport. I felt I wouldn't enjoy driving 2.5hrs home after just having had surgery. So instead I booked my flight with the teeny tiny airport that's 20mins down the road from my house.

      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!
