I was just discharged from MI Doctor a few hours ago, now at the Marriott. I had Dr. Garcia. This is a small, boutique, hospital but it is much better than a surgical clinic, IMHO, because of the multiple nursing staff and various doctors on duty at all hours. It isn't fancy, but the internet is BLAZING fast and they helped me out a great deal. They did leave my IV in too long also and my BP spiked, but it came down when that was pulled. I've been peeing non-stop since then. The only thing I didn't like was the drain but that's pretty common. It is near a major thoroughfare, so bring air plugs although if you go through Ready4Achange, they will give you a "welcome" kit with ear plugs in it.

      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.

        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!
