Yay! Congratulations! You will probably sore, tired, and kind of out of it for a few days but that is all normal. Just try to relax, sip your Clear liquids often, and remember to move around to help get rid of all the air bubbles. I paced my living room like a panther the first few days haha! Good luck on your journey :)

Woo hoo! So happy for you! Keep it up! I'll be having my surgery tomorrow. I think it is great to have the surgery just before the New Year. It makes me feel that 2015 will be the year of change. Good luck!

Surgery completed yesterday, check. While sitting in recovery I asked the nurse if doc did a Tummy Tuck or something she said no I don't think so. I asked because it felt like my left side was caved in and I could fell my bones, or ribs or something. Anyway, I got home late last night and looked at my stomach with my sissy pooh and I think we booth got a little scared. It's quite sunk in where I guess he pulled the stomach out. But I think it will be ok. Right now I'm ddealing with a bit of the gas and trying walk and do my breathing treatments is the focus.

My Surgery was the 30th, and I came home yesterday. I also have a caved-in spot where my Stomach came out. Looks weird. I'm still not feeling very good. Feel tired and sleepy.

      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!
