I was dragging one week post-op! I went back to work 4 weeks post-op. I am a nurse and had restrictions, no lifting over 10lbs or pushing or pulling for 6 weeks. I guess If I had a desk job, I would of been ok by week 2. Good luck with your surgery!! Its worth it :)... I had mine Jan 8! Its changed my life for the good:)

Your energy will go up once you level out for sure.its like a reverse zombie effect. But you'll get your energy back especially if your taking care of the Vitamins.< /p>

I had my surgery on a Friday, that Wednesday I worked from home, by Thursday I was in the office. I do desk work though.

The first week was rough. I was tired a lot, took little naps. The second week was better because I got to eat and my energy was restored. But it's different for everyone. :)

      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!
