Ditto! It's a long battle and being positive is what I try and be. I did not go through all this not to be successful.

I used a heating pad on my shoulder to help with some of the gas. You'll be feeling better in no time! I was back to work about 10-12 days after my surgery and I was feeling much better then. It'll be worth it in the long run! Good luck! We're here if you need us! :)

Hang in there! Sip on Protein shakes to get as much Protein in as you can. Walk, walk, walk. I did laps up and down my hallway, it helps with the gas.

Stay on top of the pain with the pain meds, take them when your pain is level 3. Don't wait. The heating pad was my best friend.

Feel better soon!!

      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!
