Hi everyone!! Thank you for your thoughts of me, they must have worked because I am feeling pretty good now. The first 8-10 hours were the worst, I had terrible nausea (thank God for Zofran) and the horrible chest pain from the gas. The Doc pretty much told me I had to walk it out, so that is what I have done. Every 1-2 hours I get up, tie up my gown so my booty isn't hanging out, grab my IV pole, and down the hall I go. I usually nap between walks. I am feeling SO much better, it is amazing to me I just had surgery 11 hours ago. Next hurdle is the leak test sometime this AM, if I pass that then I can drink....very much looking forward to that.

Ok, that's all for now, gonna hit the hallway for a bit. BTW, I am in room 11 if anyone here would like to say hi.

I was crazy jet lagged last night. The Hubs and I went to sleep. The hotel is beautiful, chicken Soup is flavorful as well as the Popsicles. Service has been excellent. Did lab work yesterday, met with Irene. Leaving Marriott at 10:20 and dr Garcia has 3 surgeries today starting at 3:00 p.m. Im nervous but putting it all in god's hands. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers! Will keep you posted!

I'm in lucky 13! Come visit me when you are up to it! How much longer for you? These stockings suck by the way!!!!

Yes these stocking suck big time. I'm guessing no longer than an hour. Shauna should be out of surgery by now. It takes awhile to clean up the OR room so I hear.

12 hours post op.... Some pain round my drain. The Gas pain was horrendous though... I'm not going to lie. Had it in my back, stomach and chest... I was begging nurses to walk but had to lay for an hour and then sit in a chair for 20 mins before they would let me. I was in absolute agony. The gas pain has been bar far the worst. When I went in for surgery did not see Dr. Garcia until post op. He's excellent Dr. Though. Not hungry at all just extremely thirsty and achy. Waiting for my leak test so I can have some Water :)

      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!
