Recommended Posts

---Good Morning Everyone!---

Well tomorrow is the BIG day. I can't believe it. My little sister is also having the surgery tomorrow so we are in this together. She just turned 22 yesterday! I am very excited, nervous, and anxious. Any pointers you can give me for my post-op experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great day everyone!

Lisa Marie,

Just remember one day at a time. If you mess up on one meal clean up your act on the next. You will eventually get the drift of the "right" thing to do. Drink lots of Water. Stick to the liquid then mushy stage after surgery. Good luck to you and your sister.

I had mine done the 5th of Aug. I was a little scared. But all my real fears were put to rest with wonderful MD's who knew their stuff. It's just not that complicated a surgery. Day 4 and I'm still okay : ) I'm not sorry I did it and I'd do it again in a second!

I shouldn't have been as afraid as I was. It's an adventure.

I am looking forward to Friday when I can have thicker drinks ; )

Have a nice meal (last supper) tonight and have a good night's sleep! Hopefully all will be better than you expected, like it was for me.

      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!
