I got that too, after only 4 days post-op, and I'm still dealing with it. I'm now 12 days post-op, so this has been going on for about 8 days. My doctor told me that it's some intestinal spasms that might happen as part of the healing process. He said it should go away as I continue to heal.

I've heard from at least 10 other people in this forum that dealt with or are currently dealing with the same thing. It would seem that this does not happen to a lot of people but enough of them so that we should not panic or be alarmed about it. :)

Does yours feel like a sharp stabbing pain, the kind you'd get from exercising too hard? That's what mine feels like, and it comes and goes throughout the day.

      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!
