Made my hubby do all the work and it was about 9-10 days out;). Plus he had to stay up on his knees (where I like him anyway ;) ha ha ha

Of course you should follow your docs advice.....

Dr always says when you are ready. Might have to change positions and timing till you are totally healed but it can be done. Have fun and enjoy.

I asked this question in support group when we were able to present questions written down. The coordinator answered the quesiton to the class. She stated if a woman then to be in a position with no weight on the abdomen. If a man then whenever it was comfortable. She said there is no specific time for anyone just when you are comfortable and may have to be creative in positions.

I waited exactly a week, the day I got the drain out was the day we tried, and all was well. I probably could have done it sooner but I was uncomfortable with the drain - i caused me issues.

      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!
