Aveamora....EXACT same thing happened with me at my pre-op on Wed. The lab tech could not for the life of her find a vein, then when she finally did she forget to take the second vile of blood and had to start all over again...ay yi yi!! My pre-op was also 4 hours. It was LONG but very informative. I've been on pre-op for almost 2 weeks and have lost 12lbs!! The first couple of days are tough but stick with it...IT DOES GET EASIER!! I know that being on the pre-op diet is going to help me tremendously when I transition into the post-op phase. OMG...only 4 more days until my surgery. I hope I'll be shaking by booty with joy like Miss Diaz is...LOL

I met with my surgeon this week, and am just awaiting approval from the insurance company (from which I have a verbal approval with approval number).

I can't wait for a surgery date!!

My FOUR HOUR LONG pre-op was today. They made me into swiss cheese not being able to find a vein. I am bruised and sore. Oh well, it is worth it. I start my liquids tomorrow. Anyone else on pre-op?

I'm on Medifast since Wednesday (I think we have the same surgery date?).

Sorry about the terrible blood draw, that happened to me getting an IV once when I was in labor. Needless to say I was not amused with my bruised and football sized hands while in labor! Ugh!

You're right, it will be worth it!

Who is next up for their surgery? Just want to make sure we are rallying support for EVERYONE!!

My surgery date is February 5th. I got really lucky and the same day my approval from the insurance came through, the Barix Clinic had a cancellation. They asked me if I wanted it...you bet I did!! ;)

This talk forum has been absolutely fantastic-with support and tips and just calming any fears and answering any questions!! I have learned a lot and think I am ready for what may come...

Thank You, Everyone!!

      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'. ???

        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!
