The wait is killing me slowly I am not sleeping well at the moment a good night sleep is 4 hours at most on really bad night 1 and a half hours with all the anxiety about the surgery I.e Am I doing the right thing.Will I get through op and many more questions I am asking myself. Please contact me if you're the same.

Thanks

There is also a UK forum here, might be worth posting there too :)

The site has changed a lot in the past few days but it used to be that you clicked on the persons profile and added them as a friend.

Hope it works for you!

Hi. From the uk here. Literally just downloaded this app so no idea what the score is here yet.

I'm pretty sure everyone will go through the 'should I do this' stage. I've been back and forth about it for 10 months now. I have my final dietician appt tomorrow morning before he does the surgeon referral so I could be in really soon. I still can't make my mind up 100%

Hello shanieO

Where about are you from the uk? I am from Essex.
How did you get on with your dietician appt?
I had my dietician appt 2 weeks ago and was told I will be given a date anytime now between now and 6 months.When I was told at Christmas I would be given a date around the start of March that was only I actually said to surgeon outright when do you think it will be start middle or end of March .So been told different times and the end of the day worse case it will be 6 months.

Congratulations on your surgery.Glad to hear your feeling great after your surgery.
Did you have gas before your op as I get it every now and then at the moment so I don't get it everyday and this was one of the reason they wanted me to have a bypass as I have refused it saying that to me that is really serious op to far if you know what I mean by that.
Keep us updated on how your feeling .[emoji106]

      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!
