Ouch...what Did I Do?!



Recommended Posts

okay so i am almost 3 weeks post-op and still have a weight restriction of 15 lbs. and tonight my 6 yr old daughter threw a fit and i grabbed her by the arm and she tried to fall to the ground but since i had a hold of her i had her 47 lbs body dangling in my grip. Now my port area is in so much pain not even the pain reliever i have works. not sure what to do other than take it easy. i tried calling the hospital but they were no help.

I don't know what happened in ur situation, but I can say the wrong movement can make u sore easily and quickly. Mine wasn't a 47 lb dangling body, but a 38 lb kiddo climbing all over me for an hour and it took 24 hrs and a dilaudid to recover. I say take ur pills and give it a day or so. If it persists call ur drs answering service. Non wl surgeons/nurses r going to be useless bc this is such a specialized surgery/condition: go w the pros.

      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!
