Got my Operation date today!



Recommended Posts

I got my operation date today...August 27th with Mr Chris HENSMAN :thumbup:...still have to confirm with work but I am sure there will be no problem with that. It was the first time I've allowed myself to get excited that this is actually going to happen.

My dad and I are going in the same day so we will be recovering and learning at the same time. It will be good to have someone to do this with!

And luckily my birthday is next week and won't be on Optifast for it! And I have a few months to get on track before I have to cook Christmas lunch for about 15-20 people :lol:

I am sure it will....I just noticed on my ticker that I am now at 30 days until surgery!! Had the counsellor consult today which was fine. Just the doc and the pre admission nurse to go!!

Oh and the leave was approved...I love when my team leader doesn't ask questions and just signs away!!

When I first started on here, my ticker said 28 days and here I am 4 days away from surgery. You'll be there before you know it!

I just realised I haven't gotten the pre-admission call yet! Must ring them tomorrow and see what's happening. I've been in meetings all week and have missed a tonne of calls, but no one has left a message....

      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?
