Enjoy your stay in the hospital and let the nurses take care of you.. I was so restful in the hospital that I wanted to stay another day.v :). If u do get anxious when u get to the hospital .ask for something to relax u. Ahhhhh.

And most importantly stick to the eating protocol that was given to u, either by your doc office or nutritionist when u get home. Be patient with the process,

Wishing u a speedy recovery. Mine recovery went so smooth, except for some

Weakness and tiredness the first two weeks.

Good luck and congrats on tomorrow, the first day of your new life. Follow the recovery instructions, and don't push it. If they tell you to get out and walk after surgery, do it. It really does help cut down on the pain. Also, don't be brave. Ask for pain and anti-nausea meds if you need them.

All went well. I'm in my room now,resting. No issues. Right now I'm dealing with a pretty bad sore throat and some upper gas pains. And I was nauseous a while ago, but I don't know of it was from the meds, the Soup, or the gas. Just trying to take small sips of Water to help my throat. Thank you for all the kind words and support!

      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!
