Hello everyone, thanks for all the well wishes. I am home. 2 days post op and I am feeling pretty good. Yesterday was a really good day, today not as good, because I think I overdid it yesterday because I was feeling so good. I was blessed that I passed gas very easily so no gas pains. Still passing it and thats okay with me. Feel bad for my family though. LOL. I have very little pain from my incisions, just more when getting up and down from the bed and I can lay on my sides easily.

I actually had a scare right after surgery, I stayed in recovery for like 3 hours because my oxgen levels were too low but that passed and I was in my room by 3:00ish or so that afternoon. I actually did get to go home after being told during pre-op I had to stay overnight. It was great being in my own bed.

Doing okay with the liquids so far, I go to school online so I keep busy doing homework and reading novels and watching TV. I am blessed to be off work for at least 2 weeks, possibly three depending on my dr. First fill scheduled at 6 weeks out.

      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!
