hooray! positive thoughts :)

Hey- does anyone know the type of lip balm people are recommending? I'm trying to create my list- oh and the mouth spray that helps with dry mouth?

Biotene is the mouth spray -- hadn't heard any specific lip balm recommendations, though.

Good luck, Patrick!!

Well, surgery was Thursday at 730am. I was in there longer than expected because the Dr discovered a hiatal hernia that he had to deal with first. But everything worked out OK. I was cruising up and down the halls at 1 pm the same day and ended up being discharged at 6 pm on day 2. It is now Saturday morning. I still feel a bit bloated and swollen. It is difficult to sleep for the time being.

I feel stuffed! Lol.

PRL, it sounds like we had surgery just about at the same time =) I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. Are you getting in your fluids okay and everything? I finally got myself down a bit of strained cream of chicken Soup and I'm feeling a bit better. But BLOATED! =p

I was sleeved on the 24th, and this morning feel MUCH less bloated. Pretty comfortable, actually.

      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!
