Prior to surgery they gave us the Wonderful Happy Pill that melted all the Fear away and put you in a Peaceful mood. Ask the nurse if you can get something for your Nerves.

I had Anxiety about everything from the Plane ride to the Surgery but looking back I wish I could have went back in time and let my Old Self Know that it is way worse in my mind than it is in real Life. I would go get one last long walk in and reflect on all the positivity that you are bringing into your Life.

Deep breaths and faith that this will all work out. It is scary as hell. I sat in the bed and kept thinking what if I don't wake up? My wife was by my side and i couldn't get it out of my head that this might be my goodbye. I have a great team of doctors that help, and my surgeon was awesome. I had nothing to do but trust in them that everything was going to be all right.
I don't know if it is fear of complications on the table or fear of a new life after, but after surgery for a few days it was a little surreal. Then the pounds started to come off, and I started to adjust. Just take it one day at a time, if you can't do that take it a meal at a time, and if you can't do that, take it an hour at a time or a minute at a time. Control what's going on now and the future will set itself. Good luck and Godspeed, you are going to wake up to a new life.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
