I'm freaking out and for some reason I can only think of all the bad things!! I hate needles, I hate hospitals and I don't like things down my throat.

Oh I hope it goes well and not too much pain afterwards.

Yup I'm home it's Friday morning and the op was Tuesday afternoon.

I actually was dreaming about Heath ledger when the nurse woke me up.

I'm on clear fluids for a few days, I have a lot of gas that hurts but I have never been very good at burping so the doc says I have to try to walk it off.

I have shoulder pain and my tummy feels sore, and my throat I'd still hurting from the tube, like I have a bad cold.

But in 3 days if not eating just drinking I've lost 3kg.

I'm back at work on Monday so hopefully I can move around more the next three days, I'm still very stiff in the stomach and it takes me a while to get up and down.

      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.

        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!
