One Week Pre-Op!



Recommended Posts

I have one week to go until my surgery. The count down is REALLY on. I couldn’t be more excited about this change in my life.

I do have some nervous feelings, as expected l, but I believe this is the right thing to do. I am going into surgery with one of my very best friends. I will have the best support from her!

Having had surgery on my uterus l, I know the gas pain is going to be the worst part of this but I am ready to conquer it! WALK WALK WALK.

I hope everyone is doing well and for those of you waiting, your day will come!!

Gah how do you deal with the wait?!? I hate waiting. Patience is my least favorite virtue, and I've neglected it quite wonderfully. But 1 week away is fantastic! What are you doing to distract yourself? Are you on a liquid preop?

I know the pain of the gas too having had my gallbladder out, that stuff is brutal!

I stay busy cleaning my house. Visiting my mom down the road....work & family life keep my brain occupied. Someone from the outside looking in, would have NO idea I was having a major life changing operation coming up.
I start liquid Friday. Only a 3 day pre op requirement for my doctor that I am thankful for. 1200 calorie diet until then. Still downing 64+ oz Water daily.

      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?
