I am surprised they don't give you enough pain medication to keep you comfortable. Having the pain under control has a big factor on the healing process. When they ask you to rate your pain make sure you rate it high, don't let them think that you are only in a little pain. Also when they get your pain under control make sure you stay on top of the pain, ask for something when you start to feel uncomfortable. Don't wait until the pain gets worse. Hope they get your pain under control and you start to feel better, try to get some rest.

I didn't even want to look at my cell on first day lol let alone post in the forums. Like someone said my surgeon made clear it's all about pain and nausea control. They were really nice on constant rotations with meds, vitals, etc. I slept almost entire time my gf stayed with me watching tv, I barely spoke to her only waking up when nurses checked on me.

In other words ring that bell/button in your bed right now and say it hurts like an 7+ someone should arrive quick.

I'm home now.., not much pain right now. I have a lot of gas and pressure. Gas X chewable not help much.

      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!
