Mine was out patient. Checked in at 1pm left at 9:30pm same night. Although if I had any issues or they thought I need observation they would've kept me overnight.

I stayed two nights. Day after surgery I had my leak test and when that was fine I slowly progressed through the diet stages until discharge the following day.

My doctor wanted to discharge me after one night's stay. However, I ended up staying another two days as my mum was tied up with my niece at home. Plus, I also need help getting out of the bed. Hence, for me, it was much better staying in hospital where there is a recliner bed and nurses who can help you. I am pretty independent but I am thankful I stayed at the hospital a bit longer. Hence, it really depends on you and if the support network is strong at home.

One overnight was more than enough for me! I couldn't sleep, it was a terrible experience. Once I got home my recovery began and it's been smooth sailing ever since!

My surgery was on a Monday about 3pm and I was discharged the Wednesday around 10 am. Just glad to be home.

      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!
