Just came home from the hospital after doing a swallow test. The stuff they make you drink is disgusting but hey at lest every thing was passing good. The gas pain is still present and I'm swollen pretty bad but I can handle it. Good luck to you all and if you have any questions ASK and I'll try my best to answer them.

Thanks!! It went great:) the gas was painful but I got up and walked and that made it better. Then the numbing in my stomach went away and that was pretty painful but the morphine made it lots better. I'm so hungry tho. I haven't eaten since 5pm yesterday and they won't let me have any liquids till my upper gi tomorrow about noon:(

Hi Oregon Rocks!! Congratulations on your surgery date, it is soooooo exciting! Like I'm said, I'm kind of new to all of this and I'm loving every minute of it. I feel like I've started the 2nd part of my life and I'm proud of how I've gotten my eating under control. Glad to be your friend.

      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!
