You have 30 days LOL and it will fly by! Get your Vitamins bought, ask your questions here, pack your bag for the hospital, get your food bought for 2 weeks after surgery. I did all this for me and my husband, and thanks to all the good advice i received here I was well prepared. It seems overwhelming but it is just in our minds!

I busied myself cleaning closets so I would not be sitting around waiting. I also spent a lot of time in the stores, reading labels.

One thing that helped me was a monthly calendar I kept in the kitchen, making notes doe pre-op and post op appointments. surgery, and I wrote the dates for starting liquids, dates to stop taking certain meds and Vitamins, and the dates for different meal schedules after surgery. No way could my brain hold all that info!

Best of luck to you! Linda

      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!
