So I hop out of the shower, putting lotion on as usual and rub Vitamin e on incisions. I have this one that bugs me cuz there is still a scab. I'm not into pulling scabs off. Come to find out, it isn't a scab. I pulled and it is a suture line I pulled out just enough to see what it was. Eew!!! I guess I'll call the Dr to see what to do about it.

I had the EXACT same thing happen yesterday except the "scab" kept pulling on my clothes. When I realized it wasn't going anywhere I got my manicure scissors (brand new), alcoholed them up, then cut it back so it doesn't tug anymore. I hope that's enough til I hear from my surgeon. Good luck at your apt today Gen!

I had to have nurse practitioner at surgeon's office snip it off. It's dissolvable but your clothes are going to keep rubbing it and irritate incision. They may need to do same.

Good luck at at doctor today!!

I looked at Lactaid Milk, but it has 12 grams sugar per serving. I was told that I should have no more than 6 grams per serving. I am worried about dumping if I change to Lactaid Milk.

      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!
