Recommended Posts

Nurse just got me up to start prep tests and such. I met tamtamz who is here too. She rocks. Omar is great. Cece is sweet and the staff are lovely. I'm a bundle of nerves. They are coming in for Iv and such soon.

I wish I had a robe to cover my backside. Haha. I am glad I brought a small fuzzy blanket from home...

Eeeeeek im nervous.

Joyv,

Sending up a prayer your way! Good luck with your surgery and recovery. You will be seated on the loser's bench before you know it, with your backside hanging out :rolleyes: (couldn't resist that one)

Hugs to you!

Surgery went well yesterday, Recovery is ok. It's such a learning curve! Most important lesson learned is do not go a long time without pain meds. OMG. That was horrible.

My other advise is walk sip walk sip and keep on. I'm heade home in a few min. Letting Dallas traffic simmer down. Good luck and best wishes everyone.

We are Blessed beyond measure!!!

      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!
