My belly is winking at all of you! She's very happy today. All that rash around the whole thing from a years' worth of bandages can finally heal. And I can put nice lotion on now, winky wink.

I agree with you DeLarla. It looks like a purple mouth with teeth around it (LOL). I'm so glad you're better!!!!

This is the first week I'm able to look at the "before" pics of this wound. Trust me (and ask Penni if you don't believe me) but the pictures don't do the thing justice. It looks like a surface wound from the pictures, but it was the size of a huge golf ball in depth with a 2nd gaping cave off to the side deeper into my belly. You could stuff a sock in it. (Okay, a kid's sock.) So thank you all for being happy with me. This is huge to me. Champagne-this-weekend-huge.

Jack, I've heard that "sage" thing many times before, but till this day I don't know what a sage is or what it's saying, but it must be a good thing, huh? Today I am clearing all the surgical supplies off my bathroom counter! I'm even in the mood for an order of those dancing bananas.

      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!
