Vacation 4-1/2 months post op.



Recommended Posts

Looking for some advice about a vacation 4-1/2 months after surgery. Our friends invited us to go to Cancun at the end of September. All inclusive, friends are partiers, do you think that's enough time post op to go and be able to have a good time? I plan on partaking in a couple of cocktails (no flames please, I know the consequences) and I know my food intake will be much less. I just want to go and have fun with the group and not stick out like a sore thumb. I'm 2 weeks post op and doing very well. Getting all my Protein, Water, etc in and feeling pain free and great.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I went to the keys a month post op but I didn't drink. If you still are uneasy about it, check with your doctor. I'm sure you'll be fine though.

I say- GO FOR IT! Have fun :)

      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!
