I did it. I feel pretty good and they have me walking every 2 hours but the gas is still painful. It's sitting in my chest and my upper back it's almost hard to take a deep breath. But otherwise I'm good. Hope this is the worse of it. How arey fellow 4/23ers doing?

I was also sleeved on the 23rd. There was no way I could have posted that day, I was in so much pain and really out of it. They had me walking right away also. I came home on the 24th and really have just been miserable since, though today I feel a little better. I have no hunger at all and the thought of sipping the Protein Drinks and Water makes me ill. I cannot stomach the pain meds crushed in the sugarfree applesauce, so I have been skipping them. I am hoping each day will get easier.

I promise it will get better! I am 6 days post op and feel great! Haven't used pain meds since the first night. Today I went food shopping with hubby. I'm not driving yet, but hopefully by next weekend.

      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!
