Hello, I'm glad your surgery went well. What are high keyones? So you only took a week off work and you feel completely healed or your still a little sore? I don't have my surgery date yet but I was thinking of getting a week off work, but wasn't sure if that was enough time.

Hi Mia, my surgery went great, as you see in my previous post. I never had pain. If anything I describe it as having your gallbladder removed no pain just tender around belly button area. I dd take pain meds in hosp as scheduled whether I needed them or not. I slept, peed, walked. Over &over. It went really well for me. Off pain meds since 2/21. I work as a clinical research coordinator so desk work. Gook luck.

Isn't that pushing it? My surgeon recommends a month off for healing. He says ill feel like returning but my insides need to heal. Be careful all you who plan on limited time off. You've had major reworking of your innards!!

Would the WLS and a c-section be considered the same? Both of them has to do with your insides needing healing.

Hi ladies still doing well. Yes I guess you could it's pushing it but I kinda had no choice. I work in a 2person office and my counter partner had an out of town trip planned so I had to gt back. It was a good thing I didn't have any complications. Huh. Then she was supposed to be back today and her son ended up having an appendicitis out of town. So he will n hospital till Wednesday. So I'm flying sole. Believe me I am there sitting behind a desk only. I will not over do it or hurt myself. I love me too much. Lol

      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!
