Just wanted to give an update. I had my surgery this morning at 8:00. I never thought this would happen to me but I am one of those people who keeps asking if they really did the surgery as I feel amazing! Just wonder if anyone else could share their experiences with feeling great and whether it continued or if reality set it.

Nope, you're not dreaming! I had the same experience, and am still feeling great! Just make sure you drink your Proteins and Water as required and walk as much as they will allow you to.

I'm gad you're having a positive experience; I've read so many horror stories on here. :)

I felt great after my surgery -- could have been the drugs they gave me in the hospital. I was a little sore and had to hold onto my tummy when I laughed or coughed. Only in one night, and was anxious to go home.

No pain at home. I didn't even take the pain meds. No nausea, no vomiting. I will confess that I was really tired for the first 2-3 weeks, but no problems other than that.

I am 3 months post op, down 52 lbs, diabetes and high blood pressure meds down to 1/4 of what I used to take. And I feel fabulous!

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

Me too! I worried and worried pre-op! My surgery went super, I even had a larger Hiatal Hernia then they thought. I walked and walked the first night after surgery. No pain pump the next day. No pain meds, nausea, or issues. Feeling blessed. I'm glad your all doing well!

I had a very quick and easy recovery and now 8.5 months post-op I still feel amazing. If not for my now lack of dependence on food and continually shrinking body - I'd never know I even had surgery. Congrats!

      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!
