@@sgibbs That's great. Well also had my surgery done. WednesdayThis is not to scare anyone. Dr. Goldstein who was my surgeron make five holes in me to work my stomach. The largest one was the length of a quarter. Ingrid, this will give you idea what to look for because I noticed that when you look at other pictures they seem larger when they are really not. I didn't have much gas. It was my stomach itself that was more pain. I was given pain meds when I was in recovery but it was extreme. I even shock Mike who was with me when I ask them to give something stronger. I usually suck it when I am in pain but the pain unbearable. Therefore I given 2mgs of Dilaudid every two hours. After surgery listen to your body know when you need meds and when you are doing to muchMy surgeon's office called me, they had perfect timing. I was having a hard time swallowing. I was fine yesterday but today I went to eat 4 ozs of chicken broth and 3ozs of Jello. The jello went down fine but broth was bothering the hell of out of me. I was popping Tums for reflex. Only helped for a little bit. They called me just in time. Here I had a high hiatus hernia. He fix the problem but it's going to be harder to swallow and eat anything, so for now I have to stay on a liquid diet until Sept 4 when I see him. He said he did a little extra work on me. I am only allow to take in 2-3 ozs at a time. He is talking about me doing Clear Liquids for two weeks before going into full liquidsOk I had to talk about the gas. I was hoping I was lucky and didn't have to worry about gas. Hell no wasn't that lucky. It finally showed its wrath. OMG....the pain. I did the gas-x, walking, prayering, and the rubbing of my stomach....nothing worked. So finally I made my self some orange spice tea and headed to bed. Now anyone who knows Mike, knows he is an asshole when he farts, just damn right rude and nasty. While payback is a bitch and it was being served last night bedside service. The gas finally passed but I made sure my butt was out of blankets. Let it rip and hide under blanket until I heard Mike yelling APRIL..... roflmbbao

      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.

        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.

      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!
