Recommended Posts

Hello to all !!! Alot of you have been asking how I a doing well I am ding ALoT better than I ever expected of course I am very swelled an sore. I also had hernia repair. I am taking my pain meds also. But I have something else to say we are certified foster parents an tonight I got a call for a placement of a 10 ur old girl . Knowing how much pain I was in I was reluctant at first to take her but we recently adopted an 8 yr old an thought this would help my Lil girl also for a playmate so we said yes !! I'm not saying this to get praise but I just wanted to share how when you are at your worse an unsure what's next. God sent joy to a little girl tonight an our family as well knowing she is safe now :). Thanks to everyone for your concern I mean this from the bottom if my heart

      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!
