The first month after the surgery----I need answers



Recommended Posts

Coach,

I am a 44year old male that had absolutely no problems at all. I was up 2 hours after surgery and walked laps around all the nurses stations checking them out......they were all so nice and friendly. I took it easy for 2 or 3 days and then I had enough of the resting and I decided to mow my 3 acres of grass. Weed eated and did about 5 hours of yard work.......like the others had said..I did not feel week just a little tired. I had absloutely no pain at all ....ever! The only discomfort I had was when they pulled the cathera out of my pecker.......that part didnt hurt.....it was trying to pee in a cup for them to measure. I felt the need to pee.......but my body was not letting it flow. it took a couple of hours and then everthing started flowing bigtime.

You will be fine......your a fb coach.......dont listen to these other sissy's! lol:thumbup:

WOW.

      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.

      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!
