Spent the day in recovery because there weren't any beds available on the Surgical ICU. Surgery at 7:30 - woke up in agony and major nausea at around 12:30. My Mom and Man came in to see me at 1:30 but felt so horrid I told them to head home. They were waiting since 6am. Anyway - feel much better. Very little gas. Some acid or that kind of uncomfortable feeling/pain. I'm hitting the Dilaudid button a fair amount. Sat up for a while in recovery and now in a room and took a walk (just 1 lap for now!). Thanks for thinking of me and for your prayers.

How are you feeling today? Do you get to go home? I am two weeks ahead of you and graduated from full liquids to soft foods today (and, with my surgeon's ok, went for my first post-op jog). So far, so good! Every day gets easier!

      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!
