@slimthickens, I have Tazo Organic Spicy Ginger Caffeine Free tea. It has a little bite to it when fully steeped, but don't be deterred by "spicy" in the name. To avoid overdoing it this early, I only let it steep for a minute or so.

I am going to have to add this to my shopping list of things to pick up tonight to take with me. Hopefully I can find it in one of the stores here. I'm not usually a big ginger fan, so hoping I like it. Go in tomorrow morning, 7am surgery time, Less than 24 hours and nerves are kicking in. Can anyone recommend any last minute questions to ask the surgeon?

Well hopefully once you get the new blood in you, you will be feeling back to normal & will be released and can recover in comfort at home! I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I had an Insision that wouldn't stayed closed and was gushing blood. Had to change gown 5 times. Blood was everywhere! The dr stitched it and is better but hgb still dropped to 6.9. A pain but will give me energy in the next few weeks.

      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!
