I went in for surgery around 8:30am and went home a little after 2pm. I didn't have a hernia and my surgeon said my liver looked great (yay for not eating for 10 days!). The gas pain was really intense in my back and it took me awhile to get comfortable. The throat was also a little scratchy and dry. I have been walking around some, but mostly resting. These pain meds make me so tired. I have some pain in my stomach around my incisions. I am really hungry but I am not supposed to have anything but Clear liquids until tomorrow afternoon by the medicine cap full.

I appreciate all of the supportive comments! The only person in my life who knows about me having surgery today is my husband (and you all!).

      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'. ???

      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!
