Wow Vickie, I can't believe I missed this thread! I'm so glad you are feeling better. "trying too hard to get back to normal and over drank" is a chapter from my book. I'm sorry I wasn't here for you! You did so good!!! Hang in there. Slow slow slow. You won't keel over from sipping slow. You WILL be miserable if you don't. Sounds like you got it under control! Thanks for the update. Blissful sleep to you!!!!

Vicki

I'm so happy to hear you are doing better. I know about the "stubborn gene." I'll be all over a family member to call the Dr., but ignore myself. I'm going to remember this thread for a long time.

So glad to hear you got help and are on the mend. :biggrin1: I'm sure this was a scary thing for you. What kind of pain meds were you on? Did you have any other symptoms other than the bloating and nausea? Just want to be prepared myself. I'm sure you've helped a lot of people without even knowing it. :success1: Take care and here's to a good nights sleep. :)

Hi Vickie! I'm very very glad to hear that you went in and saw the Dr about this, and I'm even more glad to hear that you're feeling better. I told ya you'd be ok. *winks*

Vicky, I'm so glad you're doing better!

I ditto what Stitchy & 3Loves said above about remembering this post and your helping other people. My surgery is 3 weeks away, and as much as I hate that you went through this, I'm sure to keep it in mind if I have any issues post-op.

Hang in there; you're on the mend now and will be better than new in no time! God Bless!

:kiss Thanks PhotoNut You did indeed tell me I'd be okay. That gave me just the feeling I needed for that day, and lots of other support thereafter. I was so grateful you were there immediately, just at the moment I needed some push. Wanted to let you know personally.

      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!
