Is this supposed to be Pgh pa? If so, I'm from the area as well. North hills to be exact. I am 25 and live with my fiancé. As amazing support system he has been, he hasn't experienced this and I would love to have someone who has shared this experience to chat with (I talk the poor mans eat off and God love him, he ALWAYS listens patiently). Lol

York Hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Edward Garber. How did your surgery/recovery go? How long were you in the hospital and off work?

I was in the hospital 2 days ... The only pain I had was in my left side where they place the port for it to drain, it was a pain to get out of the bed to go to the bathroom and only had 1 nurse that was wonderful;) I was in on a Friday and out on Sunday ...they started me on liquid on Sunday and I was on that for 2 weeks and then puréed ... Alot of people regret it at first and go through depression cause it is such a change but this app that we are on is full of alot of support and there are alot of the same question and concerns we all have ... I prefer this over the support group at the hospital ... I would recommend that you ask your dr about ordering Celebrex for the pain cause it worked wonderful ....

I went to York Hospital too. My surgeon is Dr. Monk. I had no problems at all. Very pleased with Dr. Monk, his staff and the York Hospital!

      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!
