Surgery is Feb 16th. Surgeon approved FMLA paperwork for 4 weeks!!! I only am hoping for 2 weeks. I really hope she will sign me off at my 10 day appointment assuming no complications. :-(

I have short term disability pay at work, but I have so many project to attend to--- even 2 weeks will be rough. :-(

My surgery is Tuesday 24th, and I am going back to work that following Monday.....if I don't have any major complications. I do not have any more time to take off. So I am hoping that I can sit at work (I'm and admin), instead of fighting off my 3 year old that is very "mommy" when I am home :)

I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet and I'm hungry. I went to bed early last night so I could ignore my growling stomach. Surgery 2-25. How's everyone else's prepping going?

Chrissy bug my doctor it takes about 2 weeks to get over the fatigue. Your low on potassium and feel lifeless tired and lathargic. My Dr requires v8 juice, Tomato juice or Tomato Soup. They are all high in Potassium . I heard less painful than drinking Water. I'm on day three after surgery I am still in the hospital but will be coming home tomorrow. Will start my potassium regimen once released.

That explains why I recovered so fast. I was already on a potassium regimen for almost 2 yrs preop. And Tomato Soup is one of my favorite things. Lol. I don't want to brag, but I was back to my high pace lifestyle last weekend, minus the housework. Lost another 2lbs since surgery too.

      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!
