27 Days to go, but who's counting :)



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Firstly i'd love to say thankyou to all those people that have written stories about their surgey days, you have no idea how helpful they have been to me. I was scared out of my wit that I am going to die, but after reding about 50 or so stories I feel so much better, I finf myself in tears at night wrrying that I am going to die and leave my husnband and beautiful 6 year old boy alone without me :crying:

I am a big cry baby as it is, the thought opf going to hosptial is scaring me so much. I have never had an operatio before, but Im going to be brave, well try to anyway :laugh:

Its 27 days till my surgery date, I am booked in on may 14th at the Ashford Hospital in Adelaide, with one of the best docotors in Australia.......I dont know why on earth Im worrying....My docotor told me to go on the liqud diet (Optifast) for two weeks prior to my surgery date as he wants me to lose about 3kg before I go under.... I thought I would be a good girl and cut out all the crappy food and softdrinks. and yipeee Ive lost almost 10kg so Im on my way :crying:

Anyway I will stop babbling on and on :rolleyes2:

      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!
