When I asked my doctor that he said "Not here, please!" LOL And then explained anytime in which it was not painful to do so...TMI here perhaps, but I believe we waited about 1-1/2 weeks.

My DH asked the same question! :lol: I jokingly told him 6 weeks (just like after my c-sections)! He was in shock! LOL! I am so mean.:thumbup:

My husband thought it would be six weeks too....and he was pouting (it has been a a horrible year with all the band problems and the emergency c section)...... then I jumped him about an hour after we got the kids in bed the night I got home!

Still alive at this moment!

I really can't remember how long I waited. I am sure it wasn't long because as soon as I got home from the hospital, I felt normal and really could not even tell I had surgery. I am betting it was the night I got home from the airport or the next morning.

I told my husband a year :-) I'm really mean. But he figured out I was kidding.

Oh Rosey -- you're so mean... but I love it! Might make him feel like 6 weeks isn't all that long eh?

      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'. ???

        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!
