We were told we could partake as soon as we felt able and ready. That being said, we were warned to refrain from any rough housing (take it easy for a while) LOL

Well you can do it when you are ready.You must be careful with your incisions of course. I think I heard is good to wait maybe 1 or 2 weeks till you start feeling better. I think this is a personal choice so if you feel like you can do it :) Go for it!

If you do it spoon style you could easily start up sooner than 2 weeks out! It took us so long bc I was rehospitalized quite a few times there.

My dr said as soon as I felt comfy. We waited a week. I think that was a little soon. I felt very...shook up? Haha so we waited a couple days, and have been back at it, just being careful of course, but all is well! My post op was today, i was sleeved on 3.2, and dr said I'm healing just fine! Just go with what feels comfortable, and if it hurts, stop! Haha

This reminded me of when I had my hysterectomy in Oct. of 2007 and we had only three more days until we could have sex again and I fell down a flight of stairs and broke 10 ribs and it was another 3 1/2 months before we were able to do it. My husband said that most women just complain of a headache but his wife had to throw herself down the stairs....he was kidding of course...but it was funny...Sorry just had to share.

      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!
