I am in my room and doing ok! Surgery was started a tad late. But at 9:46 they told my husband things were ok and I was in recovery.

Honestly, so far so good. Pain of course but not too bad. Pain meds are our friends. I am a little bummed I didn't get a pain pump/button. Gotta wait on the nurses. Gas isn't too bad, hope it stays that way.

I'll update more later! I want everyone to get the scoop that's planning on doing this!

It's now 3am and I am feeling better. I've taken a few walks and bathroom trips, I did not have a cath! I am on Dilaudid and of course that helps. Anyone considering this surgery, don't be scared. So far, so good.

Just had my upper GI and no leaks. Not gonna lie it tastes awful and makes you want to puke. But it's just another thing that has to be done.

I'm feeling a little gassy tonight in the neck and shoulders area. But it's not horrible. Just need to move it around and out. Can't pass any just yet even though I've been walking a lot. I will most likely go home tomorrow.

      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!
