Update ten days post op. One drain out and one still putting out at least 40-60cc of Fluid. I am feeling stronger as each day goes by. Still not able to eat a lot at any given time. It’s been my mission each day to get in enough calories and Protein to facilitate healing. I think my swelling is pretty well controlled, I am going to tighten my compression garment by one hook as the loosest seems to be getting too loose. It’s been so weird the faint feeling with taking off the garment before my shower. I’ve been also trying hard to make sure I am hydrated so there is less chance of that fainting happening. My pain is pretty well controlled. I really only feel sore, not so much pain, if that makes sense. Still walking hunched over, it’s killing my back. Can’t wait to walk more up right. Here’s some pics from the other day. IMG_4723.JPG IMG_4725.JPG

Hope your recovery is going well and you're healing up! Thank you for sharing! I'm starting to research if I may need plastics but I know I need to give my skin some time to catch up.

If you're comfortable, do you have pictures after weight loss before plastics?

      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!
