I was pretty emotional for the first couple days and anxiety for the rest of week but I thought because I couldn't drive my husband was going back to work at my 3 days post, and I had my 2 year old with me all day. Plus keeping her occupied, feed, and me drinking.... I would cry and beg my hubby to stay home from work... But I survived and the the next week I was better more emotionally in control and on track.

Good luck

Surgery 7/25/12

I was on the emotional rollercoaster at first as well. It tapered off over the first couple of Weeks and really disappeared when I was able to start eating something I had to chew. Between the meds, the shock to your body and brain, and the hormones, it can be overwhelming. Take a few min quiet time for yourself to cry or whatever and let it out. It will pass and as you heal and start shrinking, you will have lots of reasons to smile. :)

I felt great but at first regretted it when I couldn't stop vomiting for 30 days but going on 5 months & I feel super great. I'm loving the new me.

      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!
