Recommended Posts

4 days post op. I'm doing better each day. Showering is harder than I expected. Walking is easier than I expected. I took the binder off today to let my incision sites breathe. Having a hard time really sleeping at night as I so badly want to roll on my stomach to get comfy like normal and that us obviously not happening. Anyone else have that issue?

I am 20 days post op and just took a nap on my tummy for the first time. So much better! I had a hard time the first two weeks because I couldn't even lay on my side. It gets better!!

I've read that it is easiest to sleep in a recliner for the first week or 2. I am shopping this weekend for a new livingroom set with a recliner.

Yeah I've been sleeping in one. But it's so hard to stay comfortable in one I go back and forth just to change positions but getting sound sleep is something I haven't quite gotten since the surgery I'm staying positive that it will get more comfortable!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
