36 hours from now I'll be waking up and getting ready to head into surgery. I check in Tuesday at 7, and under the knife at 8. Nervous but excited!! Ready to get this over with.

I had some tightness at a couple of the incision sites and it took a couple nights before I could sleep comfortably on my left side. I'm not sure which incision they took my stomach out of. the nurse told me one thing but that can't be right because that spot is one of the smaller lines. The two closest to my belly button are healing slower.

Got out of surgery at 11:30 this am. At first ALOT of pain and nausea, but due to a VERY attentive nurse I had a pain pump and nausea meds, feeling much better now. Just tired, (didn't sleep at all last night).

Well, normal is based on the situation - and since we're all in the same boat, you're probably the most normal of the normalest! :) I'm overly OBSESSED with it :)

I was the same way, probably drove my sis absolutely nuts (short drive, lol!) if it annoyed her, she never let it show

      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!
