I believe it is at least 6 weeks if you have the full TT with muscle repair. I had a TT yesterday w/o muscle repair and it sys no heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks.

Hi Mimilou...

How are you feeling? Has it been what you expected?

i have 4 kids, 2 of which are toddlers (2 & 3 YO).

they will go to my moms for the first 2 weeks, then come back home.

I'm trying to arrange to have someone come here while hubby goes to work for 8-4 that week, so far i have ONE day that someone is coming. my older kids get home around 3...so it will be 8-1 or so that i will have to handle them on my own (if i don't find someone for the other 3 days).

I am hoping that i can nap when they nap.

Hubby will take off the Friday because i have a follow up appointment (almost 3 hours away).

The following week he works evenings and has personal development days that he can take off if necessary.

I hope i didn't think i was going to be superwoman and in reality won't be able to take care of them!

My aunt will be starting chemo after they come home from my moms and my mom wants to be able to be with her, so as of now, it's not an option that they stay there.

sorry, i rambled. i guess i'm now doubting my plan!!!

yikes! 20 days to go!

      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!
