How many incisions did they do on your stomach? I thought it was suppose to be four and I counted 6 total. Two on my left side, two on my right side, one under my breast bone And one in the belly button. Is this normal or has anyone else had more than 4 incisions?

Oh ok, yeah I get that....they found a hiatus hernia on top my stomach so I am guessin that is why I have a lot of incisions. I am feeling ok, feeling nauseous here and there and still skeptical on what to eat for my post op liquid diet. I would rather just not eat anything so I don't get sick but I know I need to put something in my stomach. I am taking each day with baby's steps. Thank you so much for asking? When did you have your surgery?

I had a drain for a week. It was so bizarre to have it removed! Doc just pulled it across my midsection! Hubby, who is a surgical nurse, took care of it before it was removed.

      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'. ???

        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!
