Congratulations and prayers for a speedy recovery. YOU did it! When you leave if you have a long drive home ask for some meds before you leave hospital, for a pain free trip. Make sure the doctor faxes to your local pharmacy your pain med and it will be ready when you go. You should take pain med for a few days for any discomfort and helping you sleep at night peacefully. Have your heating pad ready and even if you dont think you need to use , sit in an easy chair and turn pad on med for 15 minutes in the middle of your back. It will help disapate and gas that will go to shoulder areas. I did this the first day home and i had a little shoulder ache next morning and then all gone and it didn't come back. The heating pad helped me prepare for bed as well, relaxing the back muscles. SIP your fluids, not like you drank Water before, it's SIPS now.

Hugs

      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.

        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!
