Heading To The Hospital For Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Ray- The air guy didn't divulge anything - at least my job prepares me for those kinds of conversations lol!! No laughing yet- ill remind nick to not make me laugh - of course then he will try just to be funny haha. Been walking and that felt good- two jaunts at 15 min each. So far so good. Pain is bearable but more then it was earlier. Gas pain is barely there right now - I'm sure it will come back . Hope Kelly feels better

Fluffy dr said the repair doesn't cause any extra pain and good to be fixed - when is your surgery?

Yes I'm grateful that I didn't have the drain - walking with the cath etc was not too bad actually ☺

I had never had one before surgery. Wasn't as bad as I thought I was going to be. A little uncomfortable.

      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!
