Hi everyone

I've been watching this sight for about a month and am ready to join in. My surgery is June 21. I can't wait but a little nervous about recovery and caring for my 3 little ones (ages 4, 3 & 7 mos). I have a lot of help but am still concerned. Any advice/ similar situations? I did have 3 c-sections with easy recoveries. My surgeon said this would be easier ;)

I had a c-section and this hurt worse for me. But my aunt had it and never had any pain and she had the same surgeon as me. So you never know. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst lol. If it helps I don't remember the pain anymore and it's been six months. My suggestion is walk as much as you can when you get it done it helps with the pain and the gas. For me it seemed like the gas gave me the most pain! Walking helped get rid of it. The days I didn't walk I was hurting. Good luck you will do great:-)

I had 2 csections and this recovery was way easier I think!

I never had a csection. But I had a lot of pain with recovery. Now 12 days out I'm almost back to normal. I was able to function throughout. My main issues were standing up and sitting down. And of course I'm not yet able to sleep in my bed;)

      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!
