Hi Debbie it does get better honest.

You will feel better in no time. Take it easy rest and use your heating pad. Take your pain meds and drink slowly lots of Water. I know that is hard I still have trouble getting all the liquid in some days.

I am three weeks out tomorrow.

But It was rough in the beginning I have not forgotten. Just take it easy you will do fine.

We are all here for you and are pulling for you as well.

Hello

I had my surgery on 11/26 and am four days post op. But I still have quite a bit of pain. I thought I will only be out for 5 days, thank god my boss disagreed with me and penciled me out for 3 weeks. I will go back after my 2 week check up. I am using my pain meds every 5 - 6 hours still. I can definently tell when I drink too much or too fast b/c it feels very uncomfortable in my epigastric region. I am so scared of causing the band to slip but my nurse said I'm doing fine. I don't have much of an appetite. I tend to make a shake put half in my glass and wait about an hour to have the other half. I'm still proud and excited about my skinny future. :P

Debbie and emadrak

It does get better. I am 4 days post-op and my doc has been wonderful. Lots of portside pain but no other issues and she refilled my pain meds one more time for me.

Just drink very slowly and take your time. Walk around as much as you can and then just rest. Your body has been through a shock; it needs some time to adjust it's new environment.

Please keep us posted on how you are doing. I'm scheduled to go back to work on Monday (12/10). Getting lots of rest and learning to get all the liquids in right now.

Hang in there and keep posting for support! It helps a lot!:biggrin1:

      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!
