How the surgery is done?



Recommended Posts

This might be a weird question, but do you have to be completely naked when going in for the surgery? Are you able to keep your underwear on? A bra? Anything besides a hospital gown? I heard they do it with you standing up, but then how do they put you to sleep?

When I get this done I want to fully naked..no gown. Hopefully I can video tape it too. I just want to see the look on everyones face haha.

:rolleyes:

I wore a hospital gown with nothing on underneath it, except some booties for my feet. I was also covered up by the surgery drapes. I was a sleep also.

After having two kids, I lost all sense of modesty and have no problem exposing myself to hospital personnal.

What a funny thread. The things everybody wants to know but everyone is afraid to ask. I did actually LOL because I was thinking about this too (yes guys worry about stuff like this too) especially potentially stark naked fat guys worried if they will get a catheter stuck in their:eek::w00t::eek::rolleyes::ohmy::frown::mad::sneaky::angry::):eek:

I had a gown on and some hospital mesh knickers but when I woke up the mesh knickers had gone! :blush: They gave me them back later on and I put them on. I stayed overnight in the hospital and although I had taken PJs in I stayed in the gown and mesh knickers as I was far too dopey to care about anything like that!

Love the nono places too!:w00t:

I was indeed upright and he did the surgery from between my legs..Didn't know this until I got into the OR.I about said let me outta here, and I had a male nurse..gown and booties only..Did NOT like the idea of being upright or doc being down there, but wasn't like I was awake to care anyway..

      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.

        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!
