Hey @frust8! Yeah, I am doing okay. First night home was rough because my bed is low and isn't as nice as the adjustable hospital one. I don't have a recliner so the bed was the only option. Now that the anesthetic has completely worn off, yep, I got pain but it's manageable without narcotics. Kept waking up to use the bathroom and then stayed up for 30 minutes to drink an 8oz bottle of Water because I don't want to get behind on hydration. Matty is NOT going back to the hospital if he can avoid it.

You are now in the official weight loss groove. Doesn't it feel like a victory? It is you know, and now you move on to become a veteran and mentor all the newbies and to me, because I still haven't made it to the Triumphful Losers Bench. Ah but I shall--- for as long as I draw breath ---there is still hope for me!

      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!
