To God be the Glory for all He has done!

Hey caddygirl!

The surgery itself was fine. I didn't feel a thing. The small incisions are just a little sore but very tolerable. I'm feeling pretty good.

I had the surgery Wednesday, I came home Thursday, and today I've been resting but I've also got up and went for a couple of walks.

The only tough part has been trying to get all the required Protein in. However, I haven't been hungry at all.

Also, I can't say enough about how thankful I am that I'm not in any pain. I was given some liquid hydrocodone for pain but I haven't really needed it, thankfully!

In the past, I had been so afraid of this surgery, now like so many others I wish I had the procedure sooner, but I'm happy I finally got it done.

I'm feeling very blessed to have so much support as well. Thanks to everyone for your positive thoughts and well wishes!

We can definitely all do this!

Just had mine 10 hrs ago. Had to wait 4 hr in the pre op room. I almost left but so glad I didn't. You can do it!

Wow! I'm so happy you to hear that you didn't back out. I was seriously thinking about doing the same, the morning of my surgery. However, I'm so happy I went through with the surgery. My pain has been almost non-existent, just a little uncomfortable pressure at my incision sites. Good luck with your recovery. You're absolutely right, we can both do this!

      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!
