I just had surgery on Dec 4,2008 and I am not sure if I made the right decision or not. :girl_hug: I am experiencing a lot of nausea and pain I do not know if I can get through all of this. :thumbup:

The nausea is probably from your pain meds. It will get better each day but try to save the meds for bedtime.

It's just been a few days. Those feelings will pass. Don't regret this fast forward your mind to the better days you'll be feeling in a few weeks. Don't get me wrong. It won't take a few weeks to feel better, just that by that time you will forget today. I am 2 months and counting post op and I am amazed the energy I feel. I am almost doing to much physically. I have to be cautious because I am suffering from pinch nerves on both sides of my body. I am exercising only as prescribed but, sometimes I can overdo.

Anyway back to you. Try to occupy yourslf with a book or a movie or even a good conversation. Take yourself out of your discomfort cause I know one day you will be doing the same for some other post-op patient. Take care, chin up it will get better.:thumbup:

      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!
