Tomorrow is the day!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this and also super nervous about my surgery tomorrow. My husband and I are both having the sleeve on the same day and though he has been such an inspiration to me, he is going in first and I am terrified of going in alone. I know deep down that everything will be fine, I'm still really scared. I know once they're wheeling me in, I'll snap into "get it done" mode. I'm in limbo now though. Any thoughts or words of wisdom?

Best of luck to you both! Tomorrow is my birthday and your new birthday. I do, however, hope you two have someone to help yall once you get home. Maybe I'm a wuss, but I've needed help to shower and change my dressing. I also passed out this morning (day 3 post op) and idk what I would've done without help them.

Best safe and get well quickly! Best of luck

The first 48 hours are the worst! Just make yourself walk walk walk. I also brought a sleeping mask to the hospital that was essential since nurses were constantly walking in and turning every light on all hours of the day/night. I just kept my mask on and ignored them whenever I could lol

Everything will be fine. It is rough but survivable. Stay in the hospital as long as you can just for the pain meds. sleep drink and breathe. Going home the first 3 days are agonizing. It is a long week but so much better by day 6 post surgery. You will lose weight right away and you won't be hungry. It's a miracle truly.

      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!
