Mater,

You are a couple of days post op now, Am just writing to inquire how you are feeling? Is the soreness getting better? Are you up and around, walking to get rid of all that nasty gas?

Three procedures in one surgery, you REALLY got your moneys worth!!! I am sure it is such a relief to be on the other side; I remember how good I felt just knowing that it was over!

Take it easy, sip that Water, walk, walk, walk! And keep us posted. We all want to know how you are doing!

Hey Guys, I'm still alive. I was doing good at the hospital. I think the ride home may have almost killed me. Every little bit of gas was shaken up on the ride home. I have read it before on here but the gas pain is the killer. I think if I had stayed at the hospital another day or maybe had we gotten a hotel room and let the gas pass before the trip home I would have been much better off. I don't want to scare anyone but be ready for the gas pain. Then again I had the three procedures and that probably didn't help anything either. I would still do it again. I'm just ready to be a couple months down the road!!!

      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!
