Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew how long the actual stomach takes to heal inside? I think I’m over stressing about leaks etc and I’d like to know roughly when I can stop

It's going to take a couple of months for the tissues to heal. You have to live in the moment - one day at a time. You can't be worrying about future events that have never happened yet. Keep bringing yourself back to a mindful state of enjoying each day, as it unfolds. If you are consumed by future worries you will never be able to enjoy the day you have now,

if I'm not mistaken, leaks usually show up right away - often before you even leave the hospital.

90 days to full heal - Only a small percent get a leak and that is rare- Do not let you head play mind games you will do a test after surgery to see if it is all good

Very Important order this and use it after surgery - Will definitely calm you mind

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
