I may get yelled at for this, but we waited 3 days....

Now of course it was not hard core. And I did not hurt one bit. He was attentive the whole time asking if I was ok.

I think you just need to listen to your body.

My doctor said do it when you feel up to it. There are no restrictions in that area. I have heard a good bit of people say they were ready 10 days post op!

21 days as that is what the doctor said. And for you fast attempters no reverse cowgirl sex on the first time (sorry, this might be an inside joke if you have not seen the discussions on it). Lol.

You people are hardcore. My goodness, the recovery wasn't THAT hard but I guess I was a wimp. I was sleeping in a recliner, doing my little walks but terrified of engaging the ab muscles. Well, that is because I made a mistake of using my abs the day after the surgery and about fainted from the pain - otherwise I really wasn't in pain, but I babied those ab muscles!

I also felt gross because I had drains for the first week - I was a revision from the band and so it was just extra pre-caution. Nothing says unsexy like a couple of drains, trust me on that one!

I also felt hugely hugely hugely fat because they pumped me up with fluids like a thanksgiving turkey.

Sex was the last think on my mind those early days post op...lol

I am alot more fun now :)

And I thought my "Darth Vader" cpap machine officially made me unsexy times a million in bed. Think of all the wheezing during reverse cowgirl sex. Lol.

      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!
