New and have my surgery date :)



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Jax, FL and I have my surgery date for the 22nd of Aug. I'm very excited and nervous all in one..:rolleyes: Dr. Babtist will be doing my surgery. I have my preop appt on the 13th and I imagine they will start me on the preop diet then too but I'm going to go ahead and start it now. I figure it can't hurt. If anything it will give me a head start.

Anyway, it's great to be here and I look forward to getting to know you all. :thumbdown:

Welcome to the group! I started my pre op diet today, I have to do liquids only for one week. It has been a very difficult day. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier.

Good luck with your diet and surgery!

i have to do two weeks of the preop diet but I will end up probably closer to 18 days... I hope it isn't too hard!

Thanks, girls :biggrin: I know it will be difficult but I've just got to keep telling myself that it's for my own good.

Shelby- I have a daughter named Shelby :angry:

      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.

      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!
