Today has finally arrived. It's sort of surreal feeling actually. years of waitign to get to this point and now it's here. wow. we drove up last night to stay in a hotel w/the children and my mom since the hospital is about 75 minutes away from the house. I have told the children (almost 8 and 4 1/2) as much as I am comfortable telling them and that I will be at the hospital overnight. I explained that since Mommys take care of everything the Dr. wanted mommy to stay at the hospital so they could make sure to take care of me so I would get good rest. I am hoping I feel up to having them come and visit me tonight after all is said and done. I dont want them to see me in a lot of pain. I am not scared....which sorta makes me scared lol I am ready...not nervous or leery just ready. My mom kept watching me w/the babies last night tucking them in and I could feel her wanting me to get emotional...or expecting me to I dont know. I juts didnt feel like welling up w/tears and making it a huge production, it was just bedtime kwim?

I couldnt sleep, it's almost 6am and i have to be at the hospital at 745. If you think of me today say a prayer and I'll see you after surgery. The hospital has wifi and I will be bringing you all with me (laptop woohoo) so if I dont feel miserable I will update later tonight! Have a great day!

      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?

        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.
