Heyyy I had mine the 7th as well :) OMG I find it so hard to stay up moving about without having to sit and lay down. I hope this feeling goes soon as I'm due back to work next week.


Congratulations on your surgery [emoji5]

Since my surgery last week March 7 a nap is a good thing, in fact I nap often which is unlike me. Is anybody experiencing this ...

It might be lack of calories, but I bet it might have more to do with your body healing itself after losing 80% of a major organ. Your body went through some serious trauma and sleeping is one way it's healing. When my husband had his stroke last year, I swear he slept for three months straight. He was barely awake...ever.

Also, are you taking a B Complex-50? That does wonders for your energy.

I will see the doctor on Friday and get a list of everything I need to take...I'm just taking it one day at a time or shall I say one nap at a time

I was the same way. It's your body healing and recovering.

I took off work for 6 weeks after my surgery, and I took a nap every single afternoon during that time!

      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!
