So I am about 4 weeks out from surgery and I am a complete basket case! I cry about everything. I have heard other people talk about this... When did you feel that you "turned the corner" and felt normal again?

This is normal. It should end by 8 weeks if I remember correctly. If not you should see your Dr.

I double checked and it should end by 6-8 weeks. It is called the hibernation syndrome if you want to Google it! Good luck. I'm 7 weeks and feel soooo much better!

Lol totally normal! Not really funny but I was a mess! I remember watching chopped and i was balling because the guy got chopped for leaving out his mystery ingredient. At that very moment I realized this is not me!!!!

I cried about everything and anything. food, not being to drink Water, someone looked at me weird, a commercial, my daughter telling me no.

It lasted a while for me but when I told dr he said normal from released hormones.

Surgery date 7/25/12

Omg I googled this and this totally explained how I'm feeling right now!! The fatigue and just want to fall into the bed or couch ASAP when done with anything!! I even cried watching the bachelorette last night and that's totally not me!!! Why didn't my dr tell me about this? I've been wondering if I had lost my mind and also was stuck in a land of fatigue. Thanks..I'm so glad you shared.

I've been stressing out about this. I think this scares me more than any of the physical stuff. Any advice on ideas to cope?

      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!
