After my surgery running 5 hours late I finally got it yesterday. It was a tough night for me but I'm finally feeling better.

I'm only 12 days out, but I can tell you it gets better everyday. By day 8 I felt normal. Have a great journey!

I got my call - 6 AM tomorrow morning checkin at the ER, because admitting isn't even open yet. I can guarantee, my doctor will likely stoll in around 9. They wouldn't say what time the surgery actually begins. Just that I need to be there at 6 a.m.

Congrats on getting through that big hurdle! It definitely gets better every day. By day 4 I could easily meet Fluid and Protein goals and now 7.5 weeks out life is pretty normal other than occasional tiredness but even that gets less and less each day. keep us updated!

I had mine on the 8th too!! No pain meds (including tylenol) as of last night. Feeling really good. I've been cautious about eating and drinking so no nausea yet. I hope everyone else is feeling as 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!
