"honey, I'm home" ..... from the Clinic



Recommended Posts

Hello Lauren, DonnaN, Kathybad, BIG WAVE DAVE and everyone else who's names I can't rember.:think

I am 8 hours post op.. Everything went well at TLBC... a bit of gas pain in my shoulder, but not too much to complian about otherwise.

I just made my phone c alls to family and friends to let them know I am o..k. then I'm off to bed.

Dr. Yau was very nice and explained so much for me...definetly "I" have all the answers now ... LOL

While waiting for my Op I got to meet DONNAD in the flesh... that was so great. Last night I got to meet KathyBad... this is too cool to meet the very people you've been chatting to these last couple of weeks.

Thank everyone on these boards who let me read their stuff and answer my questions and concerns.

It really did mean a lot to have CANDID, and unsolicited information ahead of time.

Nite, nite

Hi all, feeling good except for gas... but its not bad really...

Crushed my GasX and now I am f@rting (sorry,gross) but with each one I feel a wee bit better..

Had some consume this a.m. with my multivit, zoloft when I crusched them all together it made it more palatable.

Jello later on....

All is good

      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!
