Hello my friends. I feel great. Bearable pain and a bit nauseous. I feel like my stomach had been hit by a rugby ball but honestly I was expecting the worst. I spent my day waking up and sleeping. I'm not allowed to walk before tmw. And I can't eat or drink before 48h. The medical staff is excellent. Well I don't know if I should add anything. If u gave questions pls don't hesitate.

Hi Pixie. I had 2 awful days. Couldn't sleep, couldn't walk due to the gaz that spread in my stomach. It's like stabbing, so painful, so unbearable. The very first hours after the operation were like breeze, I was so happy but I guess it was due to morphine lol...anyway, today I came back home. I feel so much better. But I can't stop asking myself if I'm gonna be normal in the future. Now, even the Water goes down with pain...I'm sorry if I look like discouraged. I'm not believe me, I just want the soreness to end...

      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!
