I am curios about this as well. I am hoping to be out for a week. I reach cake decorating I teach 2 classes a day and I can't be out more than 1 week. However classes are only 2 hours and I get to go home after the first one and then come back in the evening.

Lets see how it goes.

I have taken off 4 weeks unpaid (I have family that will help support me during this time financially if I have any issues). My surgeon said 4-6 weeks. I will be about 5 weeks out when school starts again, so I'm hoping I will be prepared to do my clinicals 6 weeks from surgery date (Nursing school). I figured if I gave myself more full recovery time I would be better prepared when I have to start back up my classes. If I want to go back in the middle of the 4 weeks my boss would be more than happy to give me hours, so we'll see.

I just took 8 weeks FMLA from my job. My position was saved and I got 100% pay. It's one of my benefits. I work for a payroll company.

      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!
