I am still churning out a lot of Fluid. More than ever before. I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor about this?

Why wouldn't you? Easy phone call to make. Should be decreasing the further out you are not increasing

Now I noticed an odor from the Fluid I never noticed before. Definitely going to call.

Text - call - e-mail. I told my PS that is why he made the dollars - to read my mind. A text or e- mail is super easy.

I called the doctor and I go in Thursday. I spoke to the assistant or nurse practitioner and she said the drain needs to be removed regardless because I can't have it in for more than a month. In the meantime she gave me an antibiotic prescription.

I am certain I have a seroma. My stomach from the belly button down has gotten huge. I'm hoping the doctor can drain it tomorrow. This last drain has to come out no matter what apparently and I'm still putting out a lot of Fluid plus a possible seroma. Not sure how this is going to work.

This seroma is getting huge. I hope it didn't ruin my progress.

Have you called back to let them know that it is growing larger? Maybe they can fit you in today?

Oh no!!! You're going in tomorrow, right? Yeah I might call and check in today. They take care of these things all the time so I'm sure your surgeon will know what to do.

Keep us posted! Hang in there.

I did call back. The surgeon is only in Monday's and Thursday's. I was also running a little fever. Since it isn't an emergency, we're going for tomorrow morning.

Sending you good vibes today! Maybe vetting drain out will speed all healing

Not much happened today. The drain needs to be within 30 days which is Sunday. I go back Monday morning to get it out. Leaving it in since I'm going through so much Fluid. Hopefully the antibiotics will slow it down. I do not have a seroma and I'm just extremely swollen for some reason. Apparently it will go away.

Different people heal differently! I am glad your doctor checked it out and you have no seroma. Keep us posted Monday!

      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!
