I am 6 day post, I am kinda scared because I feel like a million dollars. I have felt this way from day one. Am I in for a surprise? I have lost 19 lbs already and I am having no problems with anything. Been to the mall walking, even had my grandkids over night. I'm waiting for something to go wrong.

Same here 😊 I had bypass on the 11th. I am waiting for something.....but everything is going well. I went to Sams to walk yesterday due to the rain. I am on full liquids and handling it very well. I can take a nice drink of Water without pain.

My sugery was the 10th. I am ready to go back to work, I had was so worried about having surgery done I did not sleep for 2 days. Now I just laugh and think well that was easy. The hard part will be to keep the eating habits for life. Hard to when your husband has hollow legs and can eat anything. Best of luck to you keep me up dated you your recovary.[emoji2]

Likewise. I had my surgery on the 10th also and I feel I’m doing well. Have lost 17lbs, and I get all my liquids in. I stopped pain med on Wed evening and haven’t had any issues. Have little pains here and there but I’ve been going out and about since Thu. And like you I’m thinking, what’s going to go wrong. Good luck with it all!!

Well, my experience has been a little different. I'm 6 days post today. I had a complication in surgery which I think has made my soreness worse. Otherwise, I never had nausea or vomiting and was able to get fluids and Proteins in off the bat. Stopped pain meds 2 days post, but that twinge on the left it still ouchie. I've been pretty tired, but plan to go out to walk around the dreaded Walmart today because I need OUT!!! This morning I woke up with a bit of nausea and just kind of a crappy feeling. Hoping it passes. Have a feeling like something is sitting in the bottom of my esophagus. Overall I'm pretty pleased with my progress but I am glad I took an extra week off work. I think I need that adjustment time.

I'm sure you will feel better soon, your body just went through a big change. I was told the more you move around the better recovary will be. The minute I got to my room after the recovary room I got up to go pee and had to get my own cloths on and walked aroud the floor of the hospital. Every time I woke up I walked a lap and added a lap each time. Went to Walmart on my way home. I have had the last 4 years of my life taken from me. I had a stroke. Meningitis, chronic lyme, Gilligan barrett syndrome. I was tired of not bei.g healthy i have 2 grandkids now and nothing is going to stop me from living life to the fullest. Kerp your head up and stay positive I'm sure i am going to have bumps in the road. But not like the past. Best of luck in you recovary. Keep my updated

Thanks! I was also the model patient, lapping every hour or more, doing all the stuff. Still am. Just having less of a great day today. Due to rain, my walking has been limited to the house, but looking forward to getting out today!

      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!
