How long did it take for your incisions to heal? I am just at a month out, and all but my largest incision are mostly healed. The largest one still has some redness and is a little sore...any feedback on your experience will be appreciated

I am at five weeks exactly and I'm mostly healed up. I have six incisions and two are still reddish and itch a bit. I also have some clear thread coming out of those areas that I assume are stitches that "melt" away over time.

The glue on mine stayed for about 7 days on the smaller incisions and over 3 weeks on the large one. I had one that was red and itchy but once the glue popped off it was grand. I had another where I could feel a bit of fishline poking but it disappeared. They are starting to look like my stretch marks now LOL

*I couldn't have a bath for 3 weeks and no swimming for 4 weeks.

      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!
