On my way to Surgery Center Now..



Recommended Posts

THank you everyone for the Prayers and positive words. I am so grateful and very appreciative for all the support. I was able to be home by 1pm.

I actually feel hungry and that my "thirst" is unquenchable. I have had 1 SF Popsicle with no problem and tried chicken broth and about threw it up. So, no chicken broth today. I might try a Protein shake later tonight.

I have been able to git rid of most of my gas pain by placing my arms above my head and breathing deep. I did discover I had a hiatle hernia and the doc repaired that today as well. Defiantly still have pressure by my collar bone but it maybe 1/4 of the strength that it was coming out of surgery.

Over all , I'm looking forard to recovery. Thank you again guys, and CHEERS to BandLand

Thank you again to everyone, 1 day Post op and I am definitely learning to pace myself with Drinking. Overall, the majority of the Gas pain has surpassed and I am up walking around. I have walked the grocery store and will be going on another small walk around the block later today. I find that the walks help keep my sanity.

I feel a little bad though, my husband brought some food, cracker and Starbursts into the bedroom this AM, I asked him to keep them in the other room out of eye range until I could at least eat something pureed.

O-Well, 1 day at a time. I am so happy :)

      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!
