Urine. You can have some very serious consequences if you don't quit. And Ecigs have an even higher rate of causing phenomena. Best to quit it all!

If one vapes, at two weeks before the nicotine test, switched to zero nicotine vaping. Both pg and vg are not toxic, and is in all our food and beauty products. If you smoke, you must quit since cigarettes have 3000+ toxic chemicals which may affect your surgery. :(

Last thing you'll want is a smokers' cough when you are healing up post-op.

Kick the habit and do things that help you to breathe deeply......treadmill.....and then hot showers to cough that junk up as much as you can the weeks leading up to your surgery.

It is not easy, but a lot of us do it and feel the relief.

What Dub said. I was dragging my feet and moaning about it until I made myself snap out of it. I told myself that I always say I would do ANYTHING within my power to get the surgery and live a healthy lifestyle. Smoking (e-cig or normal tobacco) directly conflicts with this. I'm one month smoke free and could not be happier! I smell or see others smoking and want to puke!

Ok, that was a little dramatic, but I've certainly become a slight hypocrite

      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!
