One more thing...if you are feeling nauseous..get a rubbing alcohol pad (the little packets nurses always have to clean your skin before a shot!) and put it on the bridge of your nose..the nurses did it for me and it took the nauseous feeling right away!!!

I'm writing this tip down! Thanks :)

Well it's the end of the second day out and I am finally getting enough liquids in to satisfy the nurses so I can have the iv out when I'd like. But I have requested to keep it in until the shift change because I think I did a little too much bending and with pushing the extra Fluid through my tummy is pretty sore so I wanted to keep my button a little bit longer. When they take it out I am to be put on liquid vicodin.

My barium showed everything Fiber no leaks.

Hopefully I will be going home tomorrow.

Part of me still can't wrap around that I actually did it. I am in disbelief at how calm I went into it. Besides the soreness and the slight cramping when I drinkI can't really tell I had it done... Essentially I don't FEEL different.

I am now finally experiencing the excitement of a whole new life ahead of me too!!!

For anyone with their own anxieties at their upcoming surgery... Having gone through fighting my anxiety disorder... My suggestion is to push through it headfirst without the focusing on it and try to hold all those though for later because thinking and anticipating only adds to the worry. If that makes sense.

      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.

      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!
