Good Morning All

Not wanting to be considered gross by some accounts, let me address the question about using the toilet and wiping one's self. For years when going to the little boys room, I made sure it was on my time table, fortunately it always was. Being of large size (5X) I always showered immediately afterward to ensure a clean feeling. Not being able to wipe one is something I will not miss; taking a shower afterward is probably healthier anyway. I have a friend who is from a Latin American country; their sewer system does not have accommodate the paper.

So my advice to you, if you are regular (like clock work) take a shower afterward to clean one self.

Hate to be gross, but did anyone have complete watery diarrhea post surgery? I did and was worried about getting dehydrated. Had it until last night(2 days post Op) and called by surgeon. He said it was okay to take immodium, and so far I think the problem is solved. Anyone else have this issue!:thumbup:

I had the same thing 4 days after post surgery, Imodium worked great for me. Of course like an idiot I was worried about not going and then after the first in 4 days I got diarrhea last night. Everything seems to be working just fine now if you know what I mean.

      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.

      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!
