I had surgery on Sept 24th. I can faithfully say that I have had complications since day one. I did loose 40 lbs yay me.. But I can only eat once a day. Problem is that I vomit so much acid reflex and all nutrition comes out. Today I had the chills and a bad fever. My medication was changed but can someone guide me as to what's going on? Or how to deal with this issue?

Leahandgracey -- You need to call your doctor about the fever ASAP, just in case it's related to your surgery. Are you on an antacid for the acid reflux? Tell your doctor or a member of his staff that you can only eat once a day -- that's just not right and you're going to get malnourished, or maybe you already are.

On a positive note -- congratulations on losing 40 pounds already -- that's great! But you're having too many complications to continue in this way. Call your doctor's office!

@ Sissy Kay I did see my MD. and she changed my meds. Next is the GI test. To see what's going on. She said high chance of surgery.. Oh and yes I am malnourished already. It's killing me.

Are you in the hospital? If you have a leak and are this far out your life could be in danger. DO NOT take lethargy from a doctor. This is your life!

I nearly died of a leak and it's complications. I never once had pain in my stomach. If you develop a fever (low or otherwise) and have general weakness or illness, you need to have a test. It's life and death stuff if you ignore it.

      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.

      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!
