My port is under the longer incision and I can feel it with my hands.

Longer one usually is near the port. I can feel my port. Its on the right side near my rib cage. Very easy for my doc to access for fills.

yep the longer one is where your port is.. did your surgeon explain to you what he did? mine came in after surgery and explained the procedure and where my incisions were.. he also told me before the procedure ... some Dr's don't do a good job of letting you know what they are doing.. my port is on my left side down below my rib cage...

Dr came in twice when I was in recovery that I can remember but I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia so I did not really get to talk to him...

      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!
