Thanks to both of you!! So glad I found this forum to learn the ins and outs and for the support.

By now you've learned that all we do is poop the first two weeks after that we can't poop any more without assistance,:)

The first weeks we question things like "did they take out enough of my stomach, cause I'm still hungry" :)

We all look for ways to get "permission" to eat things we can't. And when we don't do it we judge other people because we are hungry :)

Oh and about four weeks out we get grumpy.

And some of us run around here causing all sorts of trouble! :)

But we all want to succeed and we want others to succeed !!!

I wanted to be a hero and leave the hospital 1 day early.. But I stayed both days.. It's major surgery!! I guess I thought just because its laparoscopic it wouldn't be so bad! Morphine was my friend:)

in the hospital walk,walk, walk,

I didn't want to but it does help with the pain.

It wasn't pretty and I had a few moments like "what the hell did you get yourself into this time Laura?" But if I made it, so can you!!!

      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!
