I'm doing ok. 14 days down...7 to go. This is harder than I thought. I'm dying for a Peanut Butter sandwich. Lol. Cravings and boredom make it hard. I've been pretty grouchy with the hubby but we are managing. One more week. I can't wait.

Surgery went well. Been up walking around and drinking. Very little pain. Mainly a sore back from the beds I think. Yay! It's over. Now my new life begins. ????????????????

My surgery was at 8am yesterday. I was drinking well. On minimal pain meds, up walking, farting, burping, peeing. No infections, blood sugars were good and I live 15 min from the hospital that did my surgery. ???????????? so excited to be home. The nurses and doctors took fantastic care of me.

      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!
