My first few days were no picnic either. But, the good news is that it really does get better each day. You should be turning the corner any day now!

I wouldn't have used the word "uncomfortable" for the first few days. The word was "hurt." Not everybody flies through the recovery or doesn't need the pain meds. I used them solidly for the first 3 days and then every time I got in a car because the bumps HURT!

Some sage advice I have often heard here applies for at least the first two weeks:

NEVER TRUST A FART!

I had my surgery November 17th, and I agree. It was a lot worse than I ever expected. I had so much pain for a little over a week. I feel great now, all except I have NO energy what so ever, just a simple shower and get ready weears me out. I here this happens, and hopefully soon I will get some energy back. Good Luck...

I didn't come up with that warning. I read it on here - a couple days too late for me, unfortunately! ohmy.gif

For the gas and farts, my surgeon prescribed "Powdered Nexium." You mix it with a Tablespoon of Water and drink it down, it tastes orangey. Helps a LOT.

Good luck with the pain! Call your doctor and ask for PAIN KILLERS.

      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!
