Really Crappy Side Effect!



Recommended Posts

I was on the phone with our lousy internet company finally getting them to come out and fix our service... I was feeling a little "rumbly in my tummy". Mind you, I am 5 days post op, and everything is in liquid form. Well, as I am trying to get off the phone with the internet guy I ended up running through my bedroom throwing the phone on the bed and guess what. I did not make it.... omg.... Now, i listen to the gentle "rumbly in my tummy." :blink:

I have been so lucky. No nausea and hardly any pain. Was sleeved 9/26 and feel better every day. I've lost 6 lbs so far.

This surgery is def a "learning experience". We have to re-learn things about our bodies...esp what our new tummies try to tell us!

How long does the side effects last? I will only be out of work for one month but reading this kinda trips me out. Even when I have to pee really bad at work I cant always go. :(

That sounds like another woman who was on Dr. Oz today! She went in her husband's robe!

That happened to me when I was about a week out. Now 5 weeks out I'd be grateful. I'm lucky to "go" once a week :(

I saw my surgeon today and he said it could be normal, but since it happened over a few days he wants me to get a c-diff panel to check if the antibiotics messed up my intestines. I will post the results on here and any treatment when completed. :)

I often have to remind myself to go pee so that may work in your favor. :)

      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!
