Im glad to hear you're being taken care of! Part of what happened may have been due to a possible reaction to anesthesia; I've heard of that happening.

Keep remembering you chose to get healthy and are now taking whatever steps are necessary to accomplish that.

So glad you got help! When weird things happen it can be scary and one can feel totally alone. Some people simply give up at that point --- so Im glad you chose to move forward!

After all this settles down, you can get caught up in the excitement of the weight coming off, new recipes to try, new clothes, compliments, and feeling good! For now, just take good care and do what needs doing. Good times are just around the corner :)

I just don't see this ever happening for me, I really don't. its just so painful and it isn't easing up yes its only been a week and people heal differently but I am weak and cant take it. I just want to be better, I thought I was doing something good something that would help me and I feel like I got just the opposite.

I'm not saying this to be harsh or insensitive, I'm just being honest.

If you think the answer is to have another operation after only a week you're very mistaken. All that will do is add more incisions, more pain, and more trauma.

Talk to your doctor tomorrow and be very honest with him. I know it's hard right now but you really are going to have to calm and cope while you heal. Getting all worked up and taking an attitude of defeat is only going to make things harder and worse. We've all been through it and we all survived- and you will too.

      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!
