Had My Surgery Yesterday



Recommended Posts

So far so good. I have not had a lot of pain, just soreness. He had to repair a Hiatal hernia that I did not know I had. I am thinking that is where the soreness under my chest bond is coming from. I have been tolerating Water and crystal light well. I haven' really wanted anything else right now.

I am so excited about the journey I am about to take. Thank you all on this board. You are an inspiration and a huge help for so many!

Day two since surgery. I still feel pretty good. I haven't really wanted anything to eat or drink but, I am making myself sip on Protein Drinks and crystal light. I don't have a lot of pain but, I am just really sore. I had to have a hiatal hernia repaired and that is more sore than the rest of it. I am still pretty slow to get going in the mornings but, once I am up and about, I feel fine.

I am post op day #6. I thought I was feeling great..til I went back to work yesterday. I have a desk job and I'm able to get up and walk but I think the 12hr shifts on top of it pushed me over the edge. Taking it easy in the recliner today-hoping I can get back to my busy life very soon!

      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!
