Surgery went well. Thankfully I’m not in a lot of pain. Maybe cause the meds still kicking. The only thing that is bothered me is my throat. When they took out the tubes they hurt my throat. No big deal though. I got send home from the hospital today. I got prescribe good medication for nausea, GERD, and pain. I can’t complain. I hope everyone is ok . Please let me know how you guys are doing.

Awesome news, glad to hear it!

They're beginning the discharges for myself as well. Gas pain was a bit of an issue initially but a few beaches cured that. I've never urinated in my life as I have today. 32 oz gatorade last night, one this morning, then the IV. I'm sending my nurse some flowers.

Like you, I am on my first day after yeseterday's surgery. So sorry to hear about your throat and the tube problem. I have a bit of a sore throat and some swelling around the puncture sites and abdomen, but otherwise feeling much better than I expected.

Thank you, today I feel so much better. The only thing is bothering me is hunger pain. But I just drink some broth and it went away. Is a process that I’m still learning. I don’t want to throw up. So I’m been very careful with my drink intake. Hope everything goes well with you.

Congratulations on coming through. Gas pain issues began coming up for me late on Day 2 and on Day 3. Perhaps I wasn't walking around enough and the gas was not moving through and out of my body. I finally took some Mylanta, which was approved by my surgeon, today, Day 3, in the morning and it helped. A heating pad on the part of my body where I could feel the gas pressing, also really helped with the discomfort. My main activity for Days 1, 2, and now 3 are to measure my intake of broth, Water, Jello, and popscicles to make sure I'm staying hydrated. Dehydration is the #1 complication, I read.

      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!
