Just had my surgery on July 25. Can't believe how well it went. After surgery I was just extremely tired, was very nauseous the next morning but with meds it went away. Up walking day 1, stayed in hospital 2 nights and went home Wednesday 27. Am feeling really good, being careful not to overdo things. Needed a nap after a shower! Lol. Can't believe that there was no pain after, just minor discomfort. Now let the losing begin!

Hooray for you!!!! Glad to hear things are going so well. Just remember once you get home from the hospital the most important thing you can do for yourself is stay hydrated. It is then that so many don't realize how important those liquids are to how they make you feel.

Sip sip sip even if it means holding that darn cup in your hands constantly. If you sip, you don't become nauseous, dizzy and weak. It also helps flush all the toxins from surgery.

Walk walk walk - this helps get rid of that terrible gas used during surgery and that gas really is the cause of most everyone's discomfort. The more you walk, the faster it leaves your body

I really hope you have a smooth recovery and are well on your way to better health. Now comes the exciting part! A whole new life for you!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
