How are you feeling, snowkitten?

Fever is gone but the swelling has turned a light pink. I'm going to call the surgeons office tomorrow. Thanks for asking

After calling the surgeons office and telling him all my symptoms he told me to go get blood work and then come in right after. You were all right (I can admit when I'm wrong, really I can) , he said I should have come in right away.

He's having me do a stool sample to test for cdiff (for the diarrhea and nausea) and a CT scan to look for leaks or abcesses. I'll keep everyone updated when I know more.

Thank you all! I'm finally home after running all over the place. I won't know the CT scan results until tomorrow. And not sure about the other test, I have to do that tomorrow. I'll keep everyone updated.

      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!
