Hunger will go away tomorrow morning. Use your pain medications as needed. Get up and move. Once I got up and walked, I felt a lot better. You'll be okay. I was afraid of the pain also, and when I mentioned it to the doctor he said "that is what pain medication is for". I also slept in a recliner for two weeks, so the gas wouldn't travel up to my shoulder. I'm three weeks out. Doing great and so will you.

Pain is tolerable and temporary. I really didn't think it was too bad. The joy I get out of life now is priceless and well worth any pain I may have had. And no, you're not going to sleep :D way too much happening in that head! Good luck!!!!

      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!
