Walk through the pain - it's a b***h but it helps the soreness, will actually ease nausea, and will reduce the gas pain before it can migrate - you do NOT want the gas to migrate (so I have been told, because I walked).

Well, i also took hydrocodone liquid, lol.

Thanks!

Not to sound cliche but it was very easy! Going to sleep was a breeze the anthestiaologist made me feel very comfortable. I told her to make sure I woke up but not during the procedure lol! But holy cow upon awaking the pain was intense!!! Not going to lie to you but I made it thru and it was just for a little while until they got my pain meds regulated( I have a high tolerance). After that they got me settled in my room and everything has been easy. I've had no problems walking and the only discomfort I have when I walk is this darn catheter, coughing isn't pleasant but nothing major. Hoping for no leaks when I have my test in the AM so I can have something to drink. JUST DO IT! You won't be sorry!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
