Recommended Posts

Can't believe that it's all done. I thought for sure I was going to chicken out. My hubby was so supportive though and helped me calm my nerves. He was a great nurse for me in the hospital, too. :thumbup:

Only 3 incisions were made and I didn't have to have a drain tube.

That is fantastic! Do you know why the doctor was able to do the surgery on three cuts only? I would like to request that my doctor try that with me and I have an appointment Thursday with him. Any information about it will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome back!! Lucky you only 3??

I have 5... and had a drain in there which was taken out before I left. But i think they'll heal with virtually no scarring so not too worried about them. (Plus they'll add character to my 6 pack in a years time!!! :lol0:)

Take it slow... and I promise it gets better every day.

I'm so glad your surgery went well BandMomsRock! 3 incisions only? That's cool! I have 6, and didn't get a drain either. Glad your hubby is so supportive and helpful, mine is too and I know I couldn't have done this without him. Yay for wonderful husbands :blushing:

I'm a little jealous. My drain was horrible, it really hurt! As soon as I got it out I had little to no pain from then on. I have 6 incisions! I'm a little over 2 weeks out and they are pretty much healed so...no big deal :) glad you are doing well. Take it slow :)

      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!
