Hey everyone! Had my surgery Wednsesday morning at 11:30 and as of right now I fee great!! After surgery I felt terrible for a while and ended up getting a shot of morphine which knocked me out for about 4 hours. I woke up like a new man. I think the problems arose from a combo of pain/gas/not tolerating anesthesia that well. So I felt real crappy for a while, then passed out until about 9PM and felt SOOOO much better when I woke up. Came home late Thursday morning, slept great last night and my only issues now, which really aren't issues, are a little bit of gas still and the minor pain from my incisions. Going back to the Doctor on Monday to have my incisions taken care of. I'll keep you all updated on what's going on as I go and I just want to thank all of you who offered me your support to help me get through my pre surgery jitters etc, etc. Thank you all!!!

      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!
