What are they calling pneumonia? I've been coughing since surgery (Tuesday) and it won't stop, is that normal?

No leak!!! Blood clot I left arm and mild pnemonia in left lung. The pnemonia symptoms if I laid in my back it hurt to breathe. If I inhale deeply I cough.

Hooray for no leak!! Pneumonia can be painful!! I hope you rest well and have a speedy recovery!!!

Glad there is no leak and you are in my prayers for a speedy recovery. I have a question though.. it seems a lot of folks get pneumonia (or since I've joined it seems that way) or a clot. Is this really that common for this kind of surgery?

I think it is that's why they make you blow into that stupid machine. I should have done it more.

That is why they have you use the machine to breathe into. I hated the dumb thing, but did it anyway until 2 weeks post op. I'm sorry you feel so bad! I hope everything is resolves quickly!

      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!
