Recommended Posts

Ok, so been posting on here how uncomfortable I have been still a week after surgery i can barley get Water in so after a painful night last night I called the dr. and went in this morning...and he ended going into my port to see if there was somehow some Fluid left in there from the test hey did on it, my dr. does not leave any fluid in normally...well he withdrew 2cc's!! I can only hope that is what caused all my discomfort when I should be feeling better a week after!!! I still am having some cramping but I havnt eat anything yet today...so cross your fingers that this will help me feel better! I am sure in a few days when im starving I will wish I had it back in but my first fill is sept 7th and hopefully I can wait that long!!

The same thing happened to me, except I had 4 cc's left in. I was miserable and in the hospital for 5 days because of it. I couldn't keep anything down. As soon as he withdrew the Fluid, things have been 100% better! I am still afraid to eat too much though.

Good luck!

My doctor planned to give me a slight fill of 2CC's at surgery. Drinking at first was little sips at a time but I could do it. After a few days... I could take normal sips without a problem. Everyone is different though and our tolerences for fills may not be the same. My first fill took me to 3.5 CC's and back to the small sips for a few days. My second fill the doc wouldn't tell me how much but again... small sips for a few days. Hope this info helps!

      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!
