I have what I need for the hospital packed (or I hope I have everything!)

Finishing up work so others at my office can continue my tasks.

Just waiting for scheduling to tell me what time to be there in the morning. Surgeon states normal inpatient time is 30 hours if no complications. That means home Friday afternoon or evening. I have decided (LOL) not to have any complications.

Wow....almost there!! Am so stoked. How am I going to sleep tonight??

Congratulations!! I too am getting surgery tomorrow and anxiously waiting for my phone call from scheduling to get my surgery time.

I hope I packed everything I will want and need. I will be in the hospital for 2-3 days so we will see. Good luck with everything!!

Can't sleep. Did anyone else just toss and turn the night before surgery?

Surgery went ok, a few hours delayed. Spent Thursday and Friday night and released to go home today (Saturday) around noon.

Won't lie, the first day was rough. 2nd day not much better. But Saturday morning early (like 2am! ) I got a change in pain meds that eased the pain and let me sleep. Woke up sorta refreshed and spoke to the surgeon. Said I was progressing nicely and could go home. Didn't take me long to pack up! Home sweet home!

      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!

        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!
