I was sleeved and had a hiatal hernia fixed on the third. The first few days recovering were kinda rough, but I feel pretty good now. Down 17lbs since surgery. Seems kind of unreal.

im getting a hiatal hernia fixed with my sleeve too! What do you mean by rough? Keeping liquids down or incision site pain or perhaps something else? I'm glad you are feeling better! My surgery is on Feb 17tb

I'm getting it fixed with mine as well. The hernia fix is actually covering most of my surgery. I'm just paying put of pocket for the sleeve itself

I found that the hernia made it difficult to swallow anything for the first 4 days. Even a tiny sip of Water felt like it was getting caught in my throat. The feeling would pass quickly but it was hard to even drink one shake and one bottle of water a day. When asked they said it was the hernia and would go away after 7 days. It was practically gone on day 5.

I lost 12.5 in 13 days on the preop liquid diet. Unlike some, my program did not call for a "healthy" meal once a day. Strictly liquids. Just remember, the reason for a preop diet is to shrink your liver for a safer surgery. You owe it to yourself to follow it.

I had surgery with a hiatal hernia repair on 2/8. The first day morphine was my friend. Once I got up to walk the gas pains in my shoulder got much better. I was not allowed to drink anything the first day. I think that was the hardest thing. My mouth and lips were so dry. Don't forget your chap stick. Day two I was finally able to drink and have some Jello. I was never so happy...lol I came home the day after surgery around 3pm. Have been getting my fluids in along with jello. Tomorrow I will start my Protein again. Life is good!! No regrets!!

      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!
