My surgery was one week ago today. It has been a challenge to stay hydrated, the first few days I was pretty dehydrated and almost went to the hospital a few times. But I pulled through and had no major complications!

The stats:

Preop diet weight loss 15 lbs and lost 11 pounds this week for a total of 26 pounds in two weeks!

I know this is just the beginning but I'm really excited for the rest of the journey!

Thanks! I only lost 4 pounds this week so I'm not too pleased with the results. But that's still 30 pounds in three weeks.

The pain was not bad. On day 8 I walked the mall for over an hour. I went walking 2 miles three times this week with no real pain. I've gone back to all normal housework, cooking, gardening, etc. I could be working but am going to take advantage of this while I can. I go back next week.

As soon as I hit the one month mark will start couch to 5k!

I am three days post op. in pain and bleeding from wounds. Help is this normal?

Not bleeding ... Please call your doctor if you are having pain that is not being relieved by pain meds or walking .!!

I never had any bleeding at all. A tiny bit of drainage, which they said was normal. I would definitely check with the doctor unless someone else says it's normal.

Yea I would call the Doc ASAP! I had drainage the day of the surgery but nothing after. I'm 4 days post op and pain is all but gone. Just feel sore like I did a billion sit-ups/crunches. The incisions feel itchy every now and then but I just scratch around it and move along. But you shouldn't be bleeding at all.

      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?

        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.
