Hang in there tyvette04. Don't let the current pain fog your thought process. No mistake made. Your future's looking brighter already. Think of something positive or someone that makes you feel good about yourself. I've had several surgeries (motorcycle accidents) and the pain of the accident was worse than the surgery, but that was so long ago I don't even remember the pain. I came out alright, just walk funny! LOL :)

Tell them to give you more pain meds. You shouldn't be in this much pain.

As for regret, that shall pass. You are miserable right now but things will get better. :)

Oh I did! It was awful! I kept on my pain meds and walked a little every few hours. Trust me it will get better. Just think of how awesome you will feel after the weight comes off. I'm now three weeks post op and down about 30 lbs. I don't regret it one bit ( although I did doubt it when I was in your shoes).

You're in the very worst part of the post op pain. Insist on enough pain meds... you don;t need to be a hero, just comfortable. Better living through chemistry, right? :P I'm not trying to be funny at your expense. You will be dramatically better by tomorrow and even better the day after that. Hang in there, you'll be fine.

I felt horrible from the time I got home to about day 3. Now (4 weeks later) I am all back to normal, except the eating part. I am down 25 lbs, give it time and you will not regret. Pop some pain pills. I hope you feel better soon.

      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!
