I know there were several people having surgery this week. I just wanted to say I had mine on Weds and did great. My liver was bigger than he thought so took a little longer and I stayed in the hospital about 48 hours for my blood tests to come back up. Anyway other than that everything was smooth and I was up walking a few hours after surgery. Been drinking good just pacing myself and walking a few min every hour. Slightly sore but I'm ready for the losing part too. Hope this helps anyone feeling scared cause I was terrified. Also I am a bigger patient....just under 500 so I did well and I'm sure you all will too. Good luck everyone and we can all share our weightloss successes soon! :-)

Check with your surgeon/nutritionist.

I had my surgery May 24th. So far doing ok. This was my first time having surgery so I was a nervous wreck, but the anesthesia team was awesome. I’m just working on my Clear Liquids and tolerating everything without any problems. Just that stabbing pain from the big incision site when I change positions. Im walking quite a bit too. Hoping for a smooth recovery for everyone.

      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!
