I have read several posts on acne post op due to our hormones going crazy. I have never had acne, not even in teen years do I just figured it wouldn't happen. WRONG! I feel like I'm a teenager. Had to buy my first acne treatment as I'm nearly 28. Lol. If thats the worst I will take it over being fat forever. Anyone else have it too? I'm 6 weeks post op...and just readdded birth control but that is supposed to help!

I am nearly 8 weeks post op and have had crazy acne since the surgery. I thought maybe it was because i quit taking the BCpill before surgery, but it doesn't seem like a normal monthly breakout to me at all. It's worse and constant.

Hope it is a phase and goes away?!?!? Gah!

I seem to get more pimples post-op now, especially around my period. I've always had a few pimples here and there, but now they come with vengeance at that TOM. I guess it's all those crazy hormones :/

      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!
