So glad to see how positive you are after surgery sassyfrass! I missed you! So happy to know that the discomfort is not too extreme. I was given a prescription for oxycodone for home after surgery, but I'm not sure I want to even fill it. If the pain is manageable, then I'd rather just do liquid tylenol. I'm not too hip on taking opiods.

What the heck is "man fat" and how is it different than "woman fat"? I'm glad though that you had this done now rather than have waited for something terrible to happen a few years down the road.

Get your rest. We will chit-chat later. Glad to hear that you are doing so fabulous!!!

Yaah! We are here to read how it goes. Sometimes waiting is harder than being done with the surgery....

Best of luck and keep posting! You are on the good side now and wonderful things are about to happen to your life!

Unlike the alternative, which was a disaster it appears from your dr.

Day 3: the pain is pretty intense. More than I was expecting. I know part of it is gas but the other is linked to my incisions and the rearrangement of my organs. Lol. It feels like I did a ridiculous ab workout. I was up at 4 am in some severe pain and I think I may have drank a little too much too fast. I got to experience sliming for the first time. Ick....

I go in for a follow up today and may potentially receive an IV of fluids just as a precaution. I'm able to get my fluids in rather easily so far.

I am very relieved for you.

You are going to be a model patient as you have been all along. You will reap every possible benefit from taking this action to improve your health.

Very, very scary to consider what may have been had you not.............

Proud of ya !

You also strike me as someone who's gonna push themselves really hard. Please take time to recover and heal properly first, though !!!! Very happy for you.

Well done and congrats on being on the other side of things now.

Each day of your life will now be more healthy than the last.

      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!
