Hello,

New here..still in the info gathering process.

I was wondering how long were you on leave from work? I'm sure it varies by doctor but would like to get a general idea.

Thanks in advance! :)

Three weeks. My choice, doc would have let me go back in one week. However, I'm glad I stayed off that long. liquid in, liquid out. Almost uncontrollably. That cleared up just a couple of days before I returned.

I had surgery on Wednesday, September 26th and took off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from work. Today is Monday and I'm back in the office and feel pretty good with only a bit of soreness in my neck and the largest incision in my stomach.

I wonder how long it would take someone who is a CNA (certified nursing assistant) or someone who works in retail and is on their feet all day?

I'm assuming that a a CNA one would be involved in heavy lifting? I'm a nurse and my doctor told me 6 weeks off. And I'm gonna enjoy each and every minute :)

I'm a nurse, and I took 3 weeks off. It was perfect. My doctor suggested 2 weeks off for anyone in healthcare, if you're getting single incision.

Why do you believe the lap is best for you?

Not judging ... just curious

Others, please do not judge the responses, this is a personal decision.

      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!

        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.

      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!
