:bounce: whooo hoooooo *doin' the Happy Snoopy Dance*

I had a shower and it felt sooooo good to get that dressing & tape off!!!

I"m impressed: the incisions actually look marvelous...I just have two bad "blistery" spots (not on the incisions) that were caused by the tape...they are quite nasty and are weeping a bit; but I can handle that as long as the incisions are good! So far, so good!

If y'all notice a shortage on tape...it's cause it's all in my garbage can; I swear they used a whole roll on me!!!!

Yoda,

I'm so glad you're comfortable again.:clap2:

Those blistery areas sound like you were allergic to the tape. Remember it for any future procedures. Nasty stuff. Take good care of those weepy areas, I've heard of people actually scarring from those. Keep them clean and dry. If they start to look infected, call your doc right away.

Thanks Dawn...will do! I've put polytopic on them and I have a bandaid on them to keep them from accidently rubbing. They are stinging though. But, I'll keep a watchful eye.

Tks again.

;)

Yoda,

you might wan't to keep a close eye :) on the bandaids- the glue that is used on them could cause you the same problem as the tape!

Try to use paper tape and a gauze pad- it might be better.

Good healing!

      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!
