5 Days Post Op.....questions



Recommended Posts

I am home from TJ and was sleeved by Dr. Garcia on July 2. I am getting my liquids but this rumbling in my tummy after every sip of everything is annoying. Some pain and discomfort as well after a sip. Please tell me this is somewhat typical??????

Yes, you are totally normal! I am a little over 3 weeks out and my tummy gurgling has quieted some. Also, the pain when I drink is gone!

Oh good news then! I know we are all different in our post op journey. Will be glad when the pain of sipping goes away for sure.

Yes I was sleeved on July 2nd as well. Prilosec has helped my stomach gurgling. I totally forgot my doctor advised me to still take it when I got home. I have real minor irritation if I drink to fast or swallow too hard. hopes this helps..

I am 12 days post op and I still get the gurgling. All pain from drinking and eating has completely gone away except when I drink or eat to much. Doc says the gurgles are just your guts letting you know they are there lol

Im 12 days out and every time I try to eat anything (even liquid soups) I have a sharp pain in my chest. I hold my chest and it goes away as quickly as it came. So frustrating. I assume this is normal. The only thing I can have that doesn't do this is Water. Anyone tell me how long it will do this or putting off eating just prolong the misery?

Try having whatever you are eating or drinking being room temperature. If I eat or drink anything that is hot or cold I get that pain. Room temperature doesn't do that to me.

      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!
