Thank you everyone! I just met my anesthesiologist. She was very Christina Yang from Greys Anatomy. Kinda dry humor straight to the point. I liked her :)

Ahhhhhhh! This is all so real now. I can't help but to feel as though I should run out of here.

Hi everyone! I wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes! Besides some pain that's totally tolerable with meds and being horribly thirsty, I feel great! My mouth is soooooo dry but not allowed to sip on anything till tomorrow.

So wondered how you are feeling Day 2? I woke up feeling OK.. Pain/uncomfortable right where my actual stomach is. Have not had liquids yet, they said soon. My mouth is so dry!

Oh I bet! The dry mouth was the worst! I've never been so thirsty. I was just brought a tub of fluids to pick from and a ton of medicine cups. It was the most exciting time ever! Haha. I feel like such a nerd to have gotten so excited by the sight of a beverage.

Pain wise: I'm feeling great. I've been walking a whole lot. They keep asking me if I've passed any gas. Which I haven't, so hopefully it won't hurt when I do. I keep the medicine button close by when I get stomach spasms.

I got no sleep last night. Someone kept coding and I couldn't help but worry so I stayed up. I did ask of it was a bariatric patient. It was not. Eased my mind a little (sounds terrible I know)

Keep me updated!

      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!
