Surgery date 8/24/12 Friday. Home less than 24 hrs later on Saturday. Today is day 5 and I feel great considering I just had surgery. I've got 6 holes like a race track across my gut that seem to b healing just fine. I have pooed which I was really scared of since I had such a hard time with my kids then my hysterectomy. I have totally been following drs orders to the T. I have been drinking my Protein, taking my BP, diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid and anti depressant meds right on schedule. I think that is the worst for me cuz they taste like crap! But I'm 50 + 2 so I've done some damage. I am excited to start this 3rd act of my life. So many changes all the way around. The pic is of me ( in the middle) my oldest daughter on the right and my youngest on the left. When I started I weighed 211. Day of surgery weighed 200.5. Today I weigh 194. I am excited to b free of diabetes and high BP and live longer to dance at my granddaughters weddings! I would love to find others who have the same surgery date as me so we can trudge this road together. Best wishes for success to all! MrsB

      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'. ???

      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!
