Me! Had mine around 11 AM on Sept 1. Was in my hospital room by 2:30 PM, and check out the next day about noon. So, this is my first full day home.

I'm allowed to go to full Protein drinks as soon as I like, so last night, I tried my beloved PP, but it just seemed too rich for for me. This morning, however, I managed all of a Syntrax nectar Roadside Lemonade. I'm also on liquid Vicodin every 4 hours, omaprazole once a day, and an anti-nausea drug when I need it. Last night I was up for my 4 AM dose and threw up a little bit. I think I was taking too big sips. Anyway, I used the anti-nausea drug then.

Right now I'm having small cups of cinnamon tea and of PP chocolate, with the aim of finishing up the chocolate shake by six PM. Painwise, I'm most sore getting out of bed, but sitting in my chair or walking have been pretty okay for me. Ooo, and I have passed gas and a tiny uh, poo. :-) I'm watching out for sharts, though. :-)

I was sleeved Tues too. Came home Thursday and so far so good. Can't get all the liquids down yet, but will be trying to increase them today. I'm very gassy today but no pain.

Incision pain for me is the worst. They also gave me shots in my stomach for nausea or something so that could also be the reason for soreness. If I wasn't sore I think Id feel so much better. But again the pain is like a sore tender burning sensation. Its gotten better as the days have progressed. I walk around the block after every "meal" to help with gas and reflux. Already overdid Water this morning

      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!
