Does anyone else have side pain?



Recommended Posts

I get a pain "sorta" like a runners stitch in my side, the side where the port is. Is this abnormal? I have a lot of gas. Can anyone weigh in on this?

I'm not sure when you had surgery, but having pain in your side and the gas pain is completely normal after surgery.

Even over 2 months out, I still get side pains from time to time.

I've the same pain occasionally. I'm only 2 weeks post op though. It feels just like a runners stitch in my left side. I find it's worst when I walk a lot or when I'm gassy/constipated. It's on my list to speak to the Dr. about at my post op appointment. Hopefully someone here has info!

thats the kind of pain I had for fwe eeks after surgery. it was "normal" at the time. Now I get it when I don't eat how i'm supposed to. Warning sign to get myself back on track. I had my band put in in 2008

      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.

      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!
