I believe it's an individual thing. I had a drain for 10 days and was quite sore on my right side. *That* was the very last thing on my mind!

Only (3) few days. ;) Just don't get crazy with positions. Be gentle.

My physician said three weeks, but I think it varies.

It was Day 5 or 6 post-op for me. But take it easy and don't do more than your body can handle. Make the other person do all the work!

From what I have seen, the general consensus of hospital nurses is that you at least wait until you get home - they really don't want to have to deal with that!

Glad all the rest of you had fun early on.... ;)

Mine didn't either.

      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'. ???

        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!
