Hi all,

My surgery is 5 weeks away and I'm getting pretty nervous and I'm not sure why.....

I've had a few major surgeries in the belly region, with big incisions and I did really good.

I think the 2 things I'm most nervous about is the drug induced nap (me and anesthesia don't get along). I throw up every time and they give me way to much, based on my weight.....And getting all my Water in.....

I'm pretty sure I'll be asking for a nice cocktail of something to calm my nerves the day of..

Hang in there I'm sure they'll be giving you something to relax pre-surgery and if they don't be sure to ask.. I know I'm gonna

Good luck to you. I'm sure I'll be losing my sh_t 3 days before surgery.

I'm scheduled next Monday and I'm feeling the same. I scheduled my midterms this week and work is insane so that's keeping me from obsessing right now but I know Saturday I'll be freaking out lmao

My surgery is in December and I'm trying to work around finals and end of year stuff at work. Gah! I totally get what you are saying and I'll be in the same boat in a month and a half.

Hi there, my surgery is two weeks away and I don't do well with anesthesia either. I was told at my visit with anesthesia that they will give me something for nerves before I even go into the operating suite. That calmed me down. Maybe you could ask if they can give you something too. Oh, and they give either zofran or promethazine before you go in for surgery too. You will do great!! I'm happy for you!!

      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!
