Me too. I have it in 2 spots, actually.

One is in the stomach area, one is the large incision on the other side where they pulled my stomach out.

It aches, it burns, stabs me when I move or stretch, or if I walk too fast or hard (and my tummy bounces).

But every day gets a tiny bit better.

(I'm 2.75 weeks post op)

Unless it's emitting puss, red or warm to the touch, ride it out. It took me about 3.5 weeks before I was completely pain free and the surgeon says that's about average.

I do have an infection in one of my incisions. This pain i'm feeling is within 4 inches of that but also where my stomach is located which is why i was wondering about the leak.

It does hurt to walk, laugh, talk etc but i've noticed after i eat/drink its worse.

I worried about a leak too. :)

Some signs are intense pain, fever, chills, and feeling terrible. Some people on here have had leaks.

Just based in what you've said here, your pain sounds like mine. But of course, trust your doctor before some girl on the internet!!

      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!
