chapstick...though my hospital supplied it.

I went in on Thursday and was out on Sunday, though I should have been out Saturday. They kept me an extra day because I bled out twice and had to have 2 pints of blood.

I packed all kinds of stuff I didnt need. Too drugged up to read and such... just mainly concentrated on walking. Had surgery on a tuesday morning and went home Wednesday around 3 pm

Mainly pack something comfy to go home in.

Good luck

I just had the clothes on my back with extra underwear. I did bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrush and elastic for my hair.

I'm having surgery on Tuesday and they said i'll be out on Wed.

I'm packing clothes to come home in,chapstick, toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, deodarant, phone, charger, and in the car i'm leaving a pillow for the ride home. They recommended a pillow for comfort from the seatbelt.

      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!
