Go forward. Friends and family do not live in your body, and they have not been part of your pre-op preparation.

Hey I just wanted to say thanks to you all who worked with me a bit. I'm in the hospital now - surgery was yesterday and this time it went perfect.

In lots of pain but I'm doing alright. Excited about the future!

Congratulations! It gets better. I hope you are able to get your walks in. They really do help.

My surgery was 2 days ago, and the deeper pain is much better, and cold packs on tummy incisions help too. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Oh my gracious. I can't even imagine the blow that must have been! I'm so happy all things are going well now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Surgery for me is Monday. I'm scared as hell. I just have to trust in my surgeon and all of these posts to give me strength to move forward.

      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!
