So glad to hear your surgery went well! Mine did too. I was sleeved 12/29 and came home on New Years Eve. Pain is not a huge deal but the gas pain and the tenderness of my abdomen when walking, sitting, standing, is really uncomfortable. I have a huge bruise on my right side also and that's pretty sore. Having said that, I am having no issues getting in and keeping down Water, Jello, broth and a bit of Premier Protein so I can't complain there. The only thing really bugging me is when I move and my stomach moves - OW. Can't wait to post and hear more as time goes by!

Happy for you. I can't handle my Protein Shake but I'm trying my best

Update: my surgery went really well also. Didnt take any pain meds at the hospital but after coming home and my first sip of water the gas pains set in and so I started on the pain meds. Walking helps and burping but It's still floating around my upper body. Not fun at all, I can't wait for this gas to leave.

Congratulations. Keep us updated ????

      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.

      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!
