A little more than 24 hours...



Recommended Posts

Of course like most, I'm getting nervous but excited. I've struggled on my liquid diet, so makes me nervous about after the surgery. I don't have doubts, but just scared of failure. On top of it all, I broke my foot 2 months ago, and I'm still in an aircast, and prob will be for another month or so :(. I didn't want to reschedule my surgery until my foot healed, but i do worry it will hinder my progress. I am excited about the future, its just the unknown. I have loved coming to these boards to read about others journeys, it has been so helpful. I am giving God all the glory in the start of my journey and will continue to praise him as I go through this...well that's my current story.

The beautiful thing about this surgery is that after it, particularly right after, is the struggles you are experiencing now will be a thing of the past, completely wiped from your memory. They'll inch back, but when they do you'll be much better equipped to deal with it. You've got this!

      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.

      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!
