Feeling pretty good' date=' just occasional spasms or what I think are spasms, it may be gas bubbles. I haven't taken anything for gas. My only real pain is when I take deep breaths in.[/quote']

Surgery was Wednesday morning and I am getting ready to be discharged. So far, no complications! I just hope it stays that way. My neck and throat have been pretty sore and I think may a combo if the anesthesia and uncomfortable hospital bed. I do feel like I have a little bit of congestion in my cheat and they told me that was normal. I am soooo glad to be on the other side of this!!

The throat is probaly the tube the inabate you with during surgery...that will pass soon and use the breathing guage ( spiro- something or other) they give you it helps with the congestion. Congratulation!

Just eat slowly and choose something surgery friendly. You'll be fine. :)

Congratulations, you will be fine. My throat hurt like hell as well, because of that tube, after 10 days my throat is fine, remember to blow in that thing they give us, it will help you a lot and help clear your chest. Take care

I drank too much of a Protein Shake and I had to lay down. Maybe for an hour before I felt normal again.

      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!
