I have 8 incisions including my port but 7 and 8 are really close together. Not much pain though. I fell lucky or have a high threshold for pain - lol.

thanks

I've got 5 but only 4 show. One 1/3 in on the far left and far right, one about 1 inch for my port in the middle under my breastbone, a 1 inch one between the port and the far left one. He also went through my belly button for number 5, but I could NEVER see that, and cannot even find a scar. I am three months out and my scars are some of the prettiest, smallest, straightest and thinnest I've seen after looking at the scar thread. I agree with my surgeons nurse. She said it is awesome to see him at work...he is a consummate artist.

I had 4 small and 1 larger so I say 5 but the hospital checked on me and said oh 6.....so I guess they count the large one as 6?

I have one true "incision" for my port, and then just three puncture holes. They really aren't even what I would call an incision.

      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!
