Good Luck and break a leg!! I had a heck of a time sleeping last night as well. I'm just finishing getting ready to go. I have to be there at 8:15. See you on the other side.

Surgery went well. Pain was horrible and had some nausea so they kept me til 10pm. Went and got meds at pharmacy after left hospital and the pharmacist gave my husband a spoon to use for the meds. Unfortunately he just figured out that is it tsp not tbsp so I have been in excrusiating pain all night and day. He just gave me the correct dose so hopefully I will be in drug heaven soon!

I feel the same way as you do, i have been in a great deal of pain since leaving the hospital. I took some of the liquid lortab but i dont think it helped that much. Heres to hoping we both start to feel better real soon! Actually today hasnt been that bad, its just standing up, then sitting down that hurts like hell.

Sorry you have been hurting! Since we got the med situation under control I have been feeling much better. I have had a lot of nauesa though so I have been taking the Zofran. I called my drs office today and asked if I could take something else for pain and they said I could take liquid ibuprophen so I have been taking that every 4 hours as well. I haven't been able to eat much and I have been a little worried about that. I'm gonna start another topic about that and get some advice. I was able to eat about 1/4 cup of my protien shake and about a cup of broth. I also had about 3 small spoons of Jello. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I know I'm not getting enough liquids in. Let me know how you are. I am so excited I have a friend going through this with me. Talk to you tomorrow. sleep well!

      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!
