2 weeks after surgery



Recommended Posts

I just had my surgery on March 11th and I can't make the support groups that my surgeon recommended because my kids have evening activities. Does anybody have any recommendations for me?

Also, on a side note, today is the first day I get to go back to the gym, any ideas on exercises I can do? They still told me to not do anything that involves the stomach, core muscles or back for 2 more weeks.

Hello Debi,

My name is Dany and I belong to a support group on Facebook. It is call Real Support for Real People. It's a small group and was recently created. The group was created because my friends and I belong to a larger group but did not get the support we needed. People join support groups for guidance, insight, and support from the veterans because we have no idea what to expect from the other side and that is what we are about. What I received from the other group was assumption, doubt, and criticism, and that is one thing that we do not want in our new group. We are here to help each other out through this and to give insight. If you need to vent, we are there, if you are having a problem, we will help you to figure it out, and if you are happy and want to share, then we want to hear about it. If you are interested, contact me.

I have notice on here the veterans are A Holes. You would think they would be happier. I guess they have more problems than just weight.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
