I'm shocked at how quickly I've progressed.

No pain meds since 5 am. Very little pain.

I'm ready to go home. Lol

Just be ready for the stall!

I never pushed the iv pain meds while in the hospital. The nurse would push it after she said your not using your pain meds. She would say you’ve paid for them since it is in iv Fluid so no refunds. I quit taking pain meds after I got home. Only took them the day of surgery and the next day. Once I got home I really didn’t feel I needed them.

Gees, I hope I have that same "problem!" Nice to know what is possible. I envisioned pumping the morphine every 15 minutes. Have they had you up and walking a lot? Appreciate your sharing!

I got up and walked and walked. My first time around the hospital floor I did either 3 or 4 laps. The next time I added 1 or 2 more laps to those. Felt good to be up instead of laying in the bed.

Im glad to hear you’re doing good. I’m 3 days post op. I’ve been good since I came home yesterday. After surgery and the day after were the worst. I’m good and keeping the liquid and Protein down.

That's great!! I had a 4 hr recovery because of the band to sleeve revisionand then home last Thursday. However, take it easy. I went back to work yesterday and was exhausted afterwards. Today was much better.

Yes I got up about every hour and a half to two hours and did a few laps. It helps!

      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!
