Hi, I'm one week post op now. I just drank half a cup of skimmed milk too fast! Not too fast but too fast for the new pouch!

I'm in a bit of pain and discomfort, I'm trying to lie on my back at the moment (don't ask me why I think it helps).

Should I be worried?

liquid seems to go through our sleeve very fast you should be ok, but if you get really bad pain or it won't go away I would call the dr. I did that once or twice my first week as well. Try walking around a little bit, that helped me when I did it.

Nah, just let it pass. Try to relax.

When that happens to me i walk around the house. I have tried to lie down but feel like it takes longer to pass.

Try and walk to get it moving... That usually helps

But if you feel best laying down you should still be ok... Liquid tends to work it's way out easily

Try and remember to wait in between drinks/swallows to see how you feel

She is right!

for some reason being upright and walking has helped me when I'm uncomfortable from eating or drinking to fast.

      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!
