I had my surgery on Wednesday. I feel like it went well. I had some more intense discomfort last night when the gassy feeling decided to make itself the center of my attention. So, GasX and a heating pad became my best friends. I've about worn out the carpet in my house! I did make it outside today to walk a little. Good luck in your recovery!

I was a little gassy but I had my gasx strips ready for me. Its not as painful as I thought it would be. This is actually very light to the last surgery that I had 2 yrs ago. I have been getting around fine and haven't had any pain meds today. I actually got outside for a few today along with driving. My Doctor told me the best way to deal with the gas is by moving around so I do feel the difference when I'm not moving around. Hope you have a speedy recovery as well.

Also know that if you feel left shoulder pain for a while, that is normal too. Remembering back, I think the shoulder pain was the most discomfort I had, and it lasted a week or two (twinges here and there). Congrats!

      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!
