I'm 4 weeks out and I still have tons of emotions and I get really tired but you just gotta know your body was just completely changed it will take time to get back in the swing of things. In the end we will read back on this stuff and laugh as we are sitting in our new skinny clothes.

Did any one have any trouble with drainage from one incision spot??? I'm 6 days post OP and still changing dressing on it? Also yes the burping if horrible i get it all the time.

I dont know if it is the same but 6 day post op my belly botton started to drain first drops but after the doc examined it it was much more. Just last night the drainage stopped. Now is from the inner belly botton just a drip.

      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!
