I was 4 weeks post surgery this last Thursday. Yesterday evening I starting hurting right below my breast bone. You know that part where your ribs come up between your boobs? Lol....It almost feels like something is pulled, but I haven't done anything to pull a muscle. Anyone ever feel this? I haven't hurt anywhere since surgery, so this has kind of thrown me for a loop. I guess I just want to know it's nothing to worry about. Thanks in advance.....

A lot off us had a pain at the bottom of the ribcage anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks out, its from the internal sutures healing and stretching..

This could be it.

I had a pain like that on my side for a few weeks after surgery, I called my doctor and he had me come in. After the exam was done he said it doesn't seem like anything serious probably just healing pains, he made an appt for me for three weeks later by then it was gone. I'm doing great now, never knew what it was but it went away eventually.

Thanks everyone! I am not going to worry about it unless it gets worse. I guess it is just part of the healing process.

I am 11 days out and yesterday I was feeling great walking normally getting up and down easily and now today I get a stretching feeling and sharp stabbing pains in my left side from the left of my belly button up to my rib cage. It only hurts when I am moving. Which isn't very much today because its so painful.

      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!
