I am getting that as well. It is from the gas they blow our bellies up with during the surgery. It takes a few days to work its way through your system. Walking is the best thing to help move it around.

I had mine on April 1 and I am still having some terrible left shoulder pain.....I am going to get staples out with the surgeon today and am planning on talking to him about it because it is really horrible pain.....I will hopefully get some answers.

I also had mine on the 7th, I didn't start getting the pain until yesterday...... It was sooo bad last night I couldn't take it. What has helped is holding my left arm up over my head and pulling it with my right arm. I have had previous surgeries and it doesn't feel like the gas pains I have had in the past. I am going for my post op tomorrow and hope to get some answers.....

Well, I went today for my one week. It is referred pain from my diaphragm. Take smaller swallows, don't take big bites of Jello................. I did mention that this even happens in the evening when I am not eating or drinking. He asked to me to write down when it was happening and what I was doing.

I was banded on march 14 and also had a Hernia repair. I had terrible pains in shoulders and chest. I called the doctor and they said it was from the hernia repair. It took 3 weeks before it got better.

      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!
