Sep 24. the door to a long and healthy life



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am 15 hours post op and things are going well. minimal gas pains, mostly left sided neck pain that is manageable/tolerable. Hiatal hernia repaired. I am taking the pain meds right on schedule just in case but for now it is better than I thought it would be. I have to sleep in an upright position tonight because of the sleep apnea.

I made it!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! Surgeon said liver was in excellent shape because of the pre op diet so the surgery went quick. I dozing off now as I type so it must be time for another cat nap.

Bye all. :drool:

Congratulations!

Hey bnwalker - how is it going for you. My abdomen seems to be coming along nicely. Left shoulder pain from gas is a real "pain". Toots are coming easier every day but I can't wait for them to resolve fully.

How has your Fluid intake been? I am looking forward to getting off clear fluids and into vegetable juices and milk starting tomorrow.

      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!
