Thank you everyone. Yes, I went to the ER.

I was concerned at first when the ER Dr didn't even now what the sleeve is! But, they ran labs, Xrays, and got me hooked up to an IV. My oxygen levels were at 89 and the monitors kept going off. We left around 4:00 this morning. I slept most of the day thanks to the pain meds. I am feeling much better. Still a little weak, but no more heart palpatations or dizziness. I'm just trying to get more fluids in today and sleep as much as I can.

I will follow up with my PCP tomorrow or the next day to make sure the wound infection is responding well to the meds.

Thanks again, sorry I didn't post earlier. I just couldn't stay awake today!

      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!
