That is good to hear. My mouth is dry all the time. Lol, I wake up at night and my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth.

I am 16 days post op and tomorrow I am heading out on a work trip. 4 days. 7 hours driving on the first and fourth days. Supervising 10 college students the whole way. Up from 6am-11pm on Days 2 and 3. This should be an adventure.

SO the trip went well except, i was feeling so good that while I was sitting in a chair Saturday night, I whipped around real fast to see someone who called from behind me. I felt what I can only describe as a small pop, and now my left side is about the same soreness it was a week ago. Basically it went backward. And, there is a small bruise. Not sure exactly what I did, but I am not worried about it, just pissed off it is hurting again.

I would call your Dr. first thing in the morning to make sure he doesn't want to take a look!

      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!
