I'm so excited that I actully have trouble sleeping sometimes...and it is still weeks away. :smile:

It will go by so fast though. Especially since the week before I'm going on a cruise for my niece's wedding.

Congrats Bino. I have plenty of sleepless nights myself. I dunno if it will help you, but I can trick my mind by imagining something non surgery related in as much detail as I can. I like to build beach houses in my mind, personally, but basically, if you get your mind focused on something not stressful, its easier for it to give up surgery thoughts and go to sleep!

I like the thought of beach houses. I'll try your advice.

Thanks.

Does your dr. require the pre-op liquid diet? Are you on it now? Mine required a 4-week one! I wouldn't want to be on a cruise and on a liquid diet....so I was just wondering. LOL:wink2:

Have a great time!!! (Oct. 6 is my surgery day.)

Originally, they watned to scheduled me for 9/25, but I didn't think it would be wise to be recoving on a cruise. LOL

I only have to do Clear liquids the day before the surgery. But, I do want to try to behave and watch what I eat on the cruise. I don't want the surgery postponed at all.

      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!
