I was sleeved on Tuesday and my doctor repaired my hernia at the same time but when I woke up in recovery I was very nauseated and was vomiting a lot but we began to notice that all the fluids I was trying to swallow would not go down, everything just sat in the top of my throat and it felt like I had big bubble or gas and major heart burn whenever I did try to drink Water he thought my esophagus may have been swollen or the hernia repair may have been a little to tight but I couldn't even swallow the liquid meds or water by mouth so he kept me 2 extra days to give me time to heal and to make sure I would eventually be able to swallow but it progressively got worse, so on Thursday he scheduled me a upper gi and that's when they realized that my stomach was pushed up into my esophagus and he said they would be performing emergency surgery to go in and pull my stomach down...he said it happened when I was gagging and vomiting and it was so aggressive when I did that it pushed my stomach up....sorry for such a long answer to a simple question...but I'm doing so good the doctor just came in this morning and told me he's letting me go home bc I can swallow and tolerate all liquids.????....I'm so excited!!!!

      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'. ???

      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.

      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!
