How far out are you? I developed a rash a few days post op that started on my belly and spread to my back, thighs, and arms. The itching drove me crazy! Docs finally figured out it was an allergic reaction to something surgery-related but never figured out what. I went through a few prescription creams, none of which worked and one made it worse. I ended up using Benedryl - it was the only thing that helped. I took Benedryl liquid (children's) and used Benedryl cream. They controlled the itching. After 2 1/2 weeks it started to fade away. Strange...

Omg it was all over my body, even my scalp. I think it was cause by a sweater that was sitting in my drawer for so long n i wore it to go to the store n while i was wearing it i began to get itchy everywhere. So like at midnight i received a call from my dr authorizing benadryl n ro go see him later on the day.

What a nightmare. You probably want to use gloves and tongs to get that sweater to the trash! Hope you're feeling better soon!

      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!
