What do you mean? My surgery was 120 miles from me. I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days....I think. Honestly it was a wonderful time of Morphine pumps *oh how i miss that * and a fling with versed... but I traveled home on the 3rd day by car. I wish I'd had a pillow to hug but it wasn't that bad.

I need to take a short flight(about an hour) the beginning of my fourth week. Just curious if other people have done that or a 5hour drive and how soon post op.

I will probably be traveling to SC from CT soon after my surgery. I don't think there will be a problem. I will not be doing any of the driving of course.

      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.

      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!
