Ask your doc. I thought it was ok but then my doc told me four weeks. Ugh.

The nurse emailed me back. She said two weeks minimum as long as incisions are scabbed over. I have glue still on three but the very top one has lost all the glue but healing well.

I had to wait almost 2 mos for Jacuzzi, but I think that was because of the heat. if I was you I would get those Water proof bandaids, they are called nexderm tegaderm. you can find them at your drug store. they are waterproof, seals out dirt and germs and stays on while in wter and the pad won't stick to your incisions. call your doctor for the okay.

      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!
