Im so sorry that you are so uncomfortable but i can relate with what your going through. From how you are describing the tube it sounds like the one i had which is called an ng tube that goes into your stomach just to make sure any liquid in your stomach is sucked out. It was really uncomfortable for me too, it sucks hunny but you have to be strong. There is nothing wrong with crying i cried too. You have to be strong and understand that you'll be ok in a few days and it will all be over. No pain lasts forever, i'll be praying for you.

I was in the hospital for six days. Partially because i had my surgery done open with one long incision. I also had complications with the same tube you had and the fact that my blood pressure and temp wouldnt go down. Combined with the tube and the blood pressure med they gave me had me constantly coughing up never ending phlegm(so nasty) because my asthma reacted badly with the blood pressure med. I hope you feel better [=

Are you referring to me? Dont be scared, concentrate on the end game, a fews days of hypothetical discomfort cant compare to how great your future will be. If you are referring to me i had my surgery in Minneapolis, mn.

      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!
