I'm five days out yesterday when showering I noticed the larger incision sight (where the drain was) was swollen. It Burns to. I did more walking yesterday than ever since surgery I had to go to the hospital for blood tests and then to Walmart. It still really hurts and I never noticed it being swollen before

Call the dr they told me to call if any of the sites were ever red, tender or swollen!

You need to take it easy, sounds like your doing too much. I wasn't aloud to shower for 10 days I had to do sponge baths. The doc didn't want any Water near the sites I have 6 holes. I would definently call doc if sights aren't looking right, better to call and ask him.

I talked to the Dr he said my labs from yesterday were perfect no signs of infection. He said I have 30lbs of belly pulling away from my stitches paired with walking too much. So shower with the packing out let Water and hibiclens run over it. Keep my binder and ice on. And only walk for 5 min every hour to prevent blood clots. Thanks ladies

      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.

      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!
