Im 3 weeks out and my staples were removed at two weeks, I still have a lil soreness at the drainage spot, I still wear a bandage, until it closes completely, right now it's about an inch deep.

It takes time. Rest heal sip walk and rest again. Leave the lifting to someone else. Hang in there!

With laparscopic ... After the laser cuts the area inside its sealed with mini staples creating a seamless seal. Then after the wounds are removed and the surgery is over most surgeons use staples to close the 3 to 5 openings in your tummy that were made.

How far out are you? Don't be afraid to use your pain meds. I was on them for almost a month.

I am 8 days out .

Take some pain meds, just the minimal dose. I had a big hematoma undergone of my incisions which caused a Ton of pain up til a few days ago

I am 3 1/2 weeks out.... I was laparoscopic and I didn't have any staples... Just terry strips over my incisions, and a couple stitches where the bigger incision was. I'm pain free now, I can even sleep on my stomach again :) still not 100% get a little tired easier than before. But since I've added actual food back to my diet I feel sooo much better!!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
