Try to take it easy while you have this time off...I don't think any of us take enough time for ourselves. Take care of yourself and keep us posted

Going back to work 2-20, Dr says I can go back with a wound. just cover and pack properly and wear my abdominal binder. I have been out of work since 1-16 so I am ready. Still a little sore but better every day.

It will be good to get back to work. I don't know about anybody else but I do better on a routine when I'm working. At home other distractions happen and I find myself not drinking enough or eating on a schedule.

@@Beautyandbeyond, Have you noticed any improvement in your hidradenitis suppurativa post-op? I have it and want to get a sleeve, but am nervous I'll have one when I go to get the surgery and it will prevent me from doing so. Anyone out there had this happen?

Thanks!

      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!
