Went in at 8:00 am. Got done at 10 am. Heavy pains because of gas after but did a lot of walking and now burping many times, it’s much much better and now it’s 9 pm. All is good and excited for new life.

How are you doing now post op?


I’m good but I still lower right pain…I guess the incisions are still healing? I’m still not able to bend down fully. My surgery was on June 29. I have started pureed foods/soft foods as that is part of my week 2 plan. I had 2 oz of tilapia yesterday for lunch and dinner and experience any issues. Im just worried about the lower right stomach pain….I don’t know if it’s muscles or incisions but it hurts like crazy when I try to bend down. When will the pain go away?

Thanks.

I know it takes about 3 months for the stomach to fully heal after surgery, but am pre op so don’t know from first hand experience… follow instructions and don’t be shy at calling your surgeons nurse to find out if it’s normal

      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!
