Splatt83

get some kleenex

dry your pretty eyes

you'll be sleeping like a baby in no time :)

you made the wise decision to have this surgery

try not to have those 2nd thoughts

everyone (99.9999%) say the surgery is the best thing they ever did - i'm in that group too :)

only regret is that we didn't have it done sooner :wacko:

you might experience some normal post op "issues" like gas et al - but it will be worth it

my grandmother used to "pull" my hair when she used to give me those awful home permanents

she would frequently say, you have to suffer alittle to be beautiful

well, if we have to suffer a little to be lots healthier, and eventually beautiful - sounds ok to me :)

by the time you read this - you are probably back in your room

speedy recovery

good luck :)

Thank you for the prayers everyone!!! The anesthesiologist was Amazing!!! No mask and I didn't even realize when I fell asleep till they woke me up. Nausea was bad for a while but they gave me zofran and reglan combo and I just took a lap around the nurses station. Looking forward to feeling better tomorrow

      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!
