I wish I knew how to put multiple pics side by side, but, I have no clue how to do that :-( Here I am 35 days out from surgery.

I won't post a pic here since I am incapable of simple photo editing work without my husband's assistance and he is out of town. However, I do show off my scars (2 months post op) in Episode 2 of my video blog (linked below).

That's only 3 of my scars. The other two are hidden by my bra. These are about 10 days post-op. Sorry it's not very clear.

Here are my scars one week out and 7 weeks out. I don't see much difference. The smiley is what I drew on my tummy for the surgeon to find. The shamrock is because I am a Shrinking Shamrock banded in March.

I had very little bruising. I did use Arnica Montana.

You can get rid of those black adhesive marks with 'liquid bandage' Just smear some on and it rubs off really easy.

      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!
