Not sure if I'll be able to focus at work today. In less than 24hrs I'll be in surgery, starting my fresh beautiful life. I am overwhelmed with emotion today. I feel like I've been trapped in this overweight person way too long. I am focused and dedicated to making this tool I've been blessed with a success.

Don't get so overjoyed. You have a hard 48 hours in front of you. As wonderful as this surgery is in producing results...it gives your body a pounding. Walk walk walk walk walk. Just do those slow laps around the floor and push that pain pump button. I should know. I had my procedure on Friday. But by Friday YOU will feel 100% better than Thursday and a week from today when you are chowing down on tiny spoonfuls of cottage cheese and really seeing how it tastes...you'll be good.

I'm finally awake enough to hold my phone without falling asleep. Lol. Surgery went well. I wasn't prepared for this pain but it's getting better. Still haven't walked. I've been nauseous from the pain pump. But regardless of all this I am overly excited. This pain will be gone soon. After I heal I'll be pressing for my goal. Finally to be healthy and thin. Lots of work ahead of me. Thanks everyone. This is such a wonderful sight

Nauseous from the pain pump? Tell em. They'll give you good stuff for that by IV. No worries. And hopefully when they move you to oral pain meds (Dilaudid) you'll also ask them for IV Tylenol. The Dilaudid pills are tiny but they will knock you out. 2nd night I took one and later tried to get out of bed. Threw one leg off the bed, closed my eyes for a sec, opened them AN HOUR LATER!!2nd leg...close eyes opened 45 minutes later. 3rd time...closed eyes....anyway took me 3 hours to get out of bed. The IV Tylenol was sent by the Good Lord...kills the pain...leaves the brain...awake.

5 days post I haven't touched narcotics....just oral Tylenol 2x per day. YOU WILL BE GREAT! Your life has forever changed along with all of ours. Get ready for cottage cheese...tiny spoonfuls that fill you up. GOD BLESS YOU WITH A SPEEDY HEALING!!The world awaits!!

      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!
