So just had my procedure done on Friday and right now I'm halfway through my first shift at work. No problems! Before coming in I felt a little weird but then realized I was just overheated. Once I got in the AC that cleared right up. Was kinda worried I wouldn't make it but it looks like I'm good. Does seem like it's dragging but that's ok, don't need any excitement tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed for the next 6 hours!

Wow, I was thinking I'd be out of work for 4 weeks. I'm a developer so subdued environment. I'm impressed, just don't overdo it and end up back at hospital.

wow you are back so soon. That is amazing. I wish you well. Be careful not to take on too much at once.

My surgeon told me that pouch is at risk for 6 weeks after for rupturing. So take it slow and easy. Best of health to you !!!!:D

Like you I went back quickly. I was sleeved on 4/27 and was back to work on 5/8. !0 days of rest. My surgeon had no issue with it. I work at a desk and was more at risk of over doing it at home. I fidget, can't sit on my butt for long before I need to scrub a tub or something.

I get tired, yes, but all and all its been pretty easy.

I was honestly at 100% by my 2nd day at work. Being forced to participate in society is much better for me or else I would just lie around at home.

      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.

        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!
