What kind of job will it be? I haven't had the procedure yet so I'm not able to answer but details might help. Is it a desk job or will you be standing all day?

As long as your job isn't lifting or anything too physical you should be fine. 2 weeks post-op you shouldn't be in Water or lifting but everything else you should be fine to do.

I found standing for a long time made me hurt. Also, 2 weeks out I was still pretty tired. I don't think I could have handled work. I hope it's a desk job. Everyone is different though! Good luck. :-)

For the most part I'll be at a desk...and maybe a little walking to a few other offices, not too far. I have to drop my baby at daycare though (maybe I won't be able to pick her up physically?) and my kindergartner is fine...

It's still a totally new job though so I'm a bit worried. I guess I can see right after how I feel, if I need a few days to start (like start later) I hope it's not a big problem...not the best way to start a new job but it's how everything worked out I guess.

My Dr will not let me lift more than ten pounds until after forty days.

      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?
