First official "after" post! I made it through surgery. I was told it was a total success. After surgery not so much..(but this is me-everyone is different) I had a hard time waking up, and when I did I hurt! (They were with holding some of the pain killers until I came out of the anesthisa well) Left side is the achey side, either from where they take the stomach out or the drain. Right side incicion has been bleeding heavily. They are sort of concerned, but no panic buttons being hit yet. ( I am on blood thinners for life. While I discontinued before surgery it could be effecting it) I have been up to the potty and to walk a couple times, so most gas pain is minimal. Just taking it moment by moment with my new best friends-ice chips! LOL In the end this will all be a memory and I will be so glad I endured it.

      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!
