Congrats and praying the best for you all. I'm up 2 weeks from today. I started my pre-op today and I'm getting ready to run up to the hospital for my blood work.

Best advice I can give all of you that are having surgery, get up and walk as soon as you are able and do it as much as you can. It really, really helps to get relief from the gas pain you will have in your shoulder. It also helps with how fast you recuperate. My roommate was only in her early 20's and just slept all the time. When she did wake up she cried with pain. I was at least twice her age and did so much better than she did with my recuperation.

Congrats and best wishes for speedy recovery. Remember to sip your liquids and walk as much as possible, it helps to relieve the gas. Karen

      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!
