i had surgery on friday (10-21) and i thought i was going pretty good. I am having a lot of discomfort after taking small pills. how long will this discomfort last?

Did your doctor okay taking pills? Being that your stomach is so swollen right now from the surgery, your band may be very tight. Therefore your pills wont be able to get through until they're dissolved. So really it depends on the pill. What was it? I hope you feel better! Being "stuck" is a terrible feeling

i have medicine that i have to take on a regular basis and the doctor ok'd them. they said that everything should be smaller than an M&M. i just feel overly tight and lightheaded. i called the dr a little while ago and left a message. thanks for replying. i am only three days out and i am honestly miserable. did you feel this way?

I felt pretty crappy on days 3-4 too. Walking, heating pad on shoulder and hot showers got me through. Hang in there, the worst is almost over!

      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!
