Hi Everyone,

My surgery date is June 8th and my insurance company has given the green light. I have my pre admission testing next tuesday and then surgery the following Wed. I am extremely nervous now that it is finalized. I am getting cold cold feet...so need some support and advice.

Thanks,

Maria

Just go in there knowing and thinking in your mind "It's about to be a healthier me!!" It will be over before you know it. When you get out be sure to follow the doctor's orders, and dont over do it. And guess what?!?!? Thas it! I hope you have a successful surgery (SURE U WILL) and a healthier life! Peace & Blessings

Maria you will be just fine. We all got that way nervous, Sad, Scared and wanting to back out but I agree you will be just fine when it is over.

Good Luck and best wishes for a Speedy Recovery.

Good luck. If your doctor puts you on a pre-op diet it was become more real. I think yesterday was my day to flip out. Today - no solids - even though I haven't had solids before evening for a week, the mental part of that is tough for me.

See you in bandland. Celeste

Congradulations! It will be here before you know it. You will have all kinds of feelings between now and the surgery, but it is normal.

      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!
