My Journey began Sept. 28th, 2016



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited. My surgery process has been painless. The only thing I can complain about is gas. Wow, so much gas. My bypass was under 2 hrs. By the time I woke up I didn't even have a tube in. Happy for that. I did have a Foley which was taken out yersterday. Still do have the drainage, which isn't draining much. I've been walking without pain. My doctor prefers 2 days no food or liquid until he orders that barium test to check for leaks. That Barium is very nasty, thank God it was only like 3 sips. I was brought some broth after that and some Liquid Protein. I've been able to tolerate. I take a sip every 15 minutes. Hopefully I go home today. It's gonna be difficult but I will get thru this. So will you guys. We got this!!! Good luck!!!

The gas is horrible for most. Walking helps big time!!! I have used Papaya Enzymes they really help with the gas and aid in digestion. I buy them at Walmart for less tthan $5.00. In fact I got them yesterday for a liittle over 3.00. They have saved me so many times.

Something to help with your potty issues. Take some dried prunes cover with Water and steep them then eat 2 or 3 of them and sip some of the prune juice. You will go potty for sure!!

If you want to try something besides the pill form, my mom for ears used dried papaya. She said it worked for her!! Yuk on the papaya chunks!! I'm not fond of fresh papaya. Just take the pill form and chew them up works every time!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
