How everything went on your first day of your new jounery and how are doing after your surgery

First day right after the surgery was very hard but as every hour passed it got easier and easier.

I feel good most of the time aside from the gas pain which is helped by a heating pad

That is good and hope gas pain will go away soon

@Emileana congrats and happy you're doing well. My surgery is tomorrow and I'm petrified. How long did it take to get your pain under control?

The hospital staff really helped with this. I did end up taking morphine while in hospital and they sent me home with a prescription that I have been taking ever since. But I only take 1 pill every 6 hours now opposed to 2 every 6 hours. Every day gets easier.

Mine is TOMORROW!!! Excited and scared and happy and a tiny bit nervous. (Especially because a giant hernia is being repaired at the same time.) But I have faith. And lots and lots of prayers going up.

Jhope71 im right behind you. 4/11. Hernia repair also. Yes lots of prayers for us.[emoji4]

      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!
