You should be fine. Assuming its a standard yard and pretty easy to mow. Not an acre of waist high grass?

Hello, be careful - don't be a fool like I was. I planted all the annual flowers 5 days post op and prayed I wouldn't damage anything.

I would say absolutaly not. I was told nothing over 10lbs for the first 60 days. I am guessing your lawn mower is over 10lbs or are you using a riding lawn mower?

I shoveled and pushed a car that was stuck in the snow 7 days post op.... when you're stuck in a Blizzard you do what you gotta do.

(and had no issues surrounding it.) check with your doc!

My doc said to let pain be my guide. If it hurts....stop. He said that there really isn't much you can do to hurt it.

      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!
