I'm so sorry to hear that. That is unfortunate. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

Hi

I think i am the opposite. I think my pouch is too big. i am 16 days post op. I can drink a big glass of milk in 5 minutes and not feel full. Any food I eat stays with me 15 minutes and then hunger pains come again. i had bad bleeding post op. There should have been none with plication surgery. i was supposed to be full after 2 or 3 bites as per what the doctor said but this is so not true. I have hunger pains all the time. The xray of the stomach showed it 3/4 full when i took about 1 oz of the barium so what is happening here? They said you will not feel hungry after this surgery but that too is so not true.

Thanks

Kacee, who did you have your surgery with? Also are you taking any acid reducing pills? I found a profound difference in what I thought was hunger.

Kacee, I am so sorry you are not feeling well......

Are you taking acid reducer pills? Nexium, prevacid, something like that. I find that most of the time what I think is hunger pains is actually acid....I take a Prevacid at night...and it has helped with the hunger thing...

I also can drink water/shakes/etc and not feel restriction...or full....once you start eating solid or soft foods you will find you will get full...you will know when you eat too much....or at least that's the way it is for me....I have never thrown up due to over eating, but have eaten that one extra bite that makes it so super uncomfortable....

I hope you feel better soon.....

      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!
