Home from the Hospital..One Day Out



Recommended Posts

Wow, Id like the license number of the truck I think ran over me. I never knew so much pain could be caused from a tiny bite of food... My tummy hates me right now :( It can only get better I say to myself. My surgeon told me I did so well I could come home the day after my surgery. Not sure if thats a good thing or bad lol.

Yea, I know exactly how you feel. It's not all peaches,and cream. When I woke up in recovery, I felt like someone had a chainsaw at my abdomen, I started screaming for them to put my stomach back. It was straight out of Chiller. Haha, All good now.

I was also out the next day! But had to go to the emergency after a couple of hours of being out. I could not swallow pain meds and the pain became unbearable. The gas pain is the worst. Then when that is all gone you feel extremely sore. I had surgery 6 days ago and still have some pain. The worst part is learning how to sip and wait for that pain to go away before you can take another sip! I'm hoping this gets better. On another note I have lost 14lbs so far yay!!!

      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!
