I was scheduled to leave yesterday morning, however i had a bad reaction to one of the pain meds, n my blood pressure went up. They quickly took care of it n my pressure went back to normal. By late evening i was stable enough so they sent me home.

This morning I'm in very little pain. Walking around, doing light house work, feeling great. Have to keep reminding myself to drink fluids (cuz i don't get the hunger pain or thirsty). I have to set alarm on phone for every few hours as a reminder. Today i feel good.

Hartford Hospital staff were great. Doctor was awesome. Couldn't of asked for a better team of health care professionals.

      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!
