I had my surgery on 4/4 and I have sailed through it. I had pain killers the first 2 days and that was it. I think resting a lot and walking in between helped me to do so well. Chap stick is a must and comfy clothes to go home in. Best wishes :)

A video of you with bed-head, in a hospital gown while high on painkillers would be fantastic ;-)

Bring a heat pad with you. It also helps with the gas pains. I slept with my electric heat pad on my abdomen or shoulder. Walking really does work! Good luck tomorrow

I am in the hospital surgery was 4 pm yesterday and I was recovery until 8 pm my surgery has been so easy that I almost don't believe I had it lol I had a Nausea patch placed behind my ear before surgery and have not felt nauseas yet. I'm a little tender when I get up or lay down but considering the facts this is nothing, I haven't had food since Friday or a drink since Sunday and its not nearly as bad as I thought :-)

I wish everyone has had the experience I have.

Just when I thought everything was going great i had the swallow test, first they said it was great and gave me some Water. 10 mon later the Iraq came in and told me there may be a small leak that I have to go back in 2 hours for another test. I am freaking out they won't even tell me what happens of it is a leak which scares me even more. Please pray for me

I have read that they have to go back in if there is a leak. So I will pray for you that it doesn't have a leak. Hang in there. Let us know.

Thank you so much for giving me some feedback. I hope I see 20 lbs gone soon ;-) my goal is to loose 93 so 20 in two weeks would be very motivational.

Don't get discouraged cuz I did :-( I was sleeved on 4/1, yesterday I was 2 weeks out n I weighted myself on Saturday n I only have lost 13lbs since surgery I was so disappointed (not to mention I stared my period on Saturday so I was kinda emotional) lol but hopefully I will start seeing more weight drop as other peeps have lost 20+ on their first 2 wks my journey has not been so. I hope once I'm off my period I will notice the difference. Also I started soft foods on Thursday so I think that's part of my stall :-(

      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!
