Just trying to figure out the site - I asked as question a couple of days ago, getting emails but can't see replies, welcomes, etc. I will stay on the site for a bit, maybe if I get a reply, I can figure it out? Thanks

HELLO NATTNAT22!! How are you? I'm doing considerably well!! I was discharged the next day and so far all has gone well!! I haven't had to use any pain meds in the hospital or home!! I would say the worst part has been the gas but its sooooo much better!! Walking alot has helped so much. I just went for my first week exam and am down 12 lbs. that was exciting for me. For my 3 day post op exam I lost 6 so in a week it's been a total of 18 lbs. oh and I'm so happy to be sleeping on my side. LOL

HOPE ALL ARE DOING WELL!! SORRY FIR MY ABSENCE BEEN TRYING TO CATCH UP ON MUCH NEEDED SLEEP!!

Yay!!!! So glad your doing well!!! I stayed 3 days and honestly no one could believe how great I was doing!!! Walking does help the gas!!! I thought getting my drain tube out was the worst part!!!! I thought I was gonna punch the poor girl in the gut!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!! 18lbs is amazing!!!!!!!! I'm down 22 so far!!!! From the start of my preop diet to now of course!!!!! Get some sleep but stay in touch!!!! We're in this journey together!!! Yay!!!

      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!
