Hello all. I was sleeved 2/7/13 with a hernia repair. Everything went great and I had no complications healing, eating or drinking...until a few weeks ago. I passed 2 kidney stones within 4 days. Both times it required a trip to the ER. Since then I have absolutely no desire to eat or drink. I had been doing well and getting all my Protein in with the help of one shake a day, now I can't get two sips of a shake in without discomfort and nausea. The thought of a Protein Shake makes me gag. I have been mixing powder in with orange juice each morning to get something in my system. I saw my doc on 4/3 and he said my body has been through a lot and it may take time to get back on track. I should mention I had no a CT scan and ultrasound while in the hospital to rule out leaks. My problem is I have no appetite, don't want to eat or drink, and when I do try, everything makes me VERY uncomfortable. Not pain..just very full, sore and miserable. My stomach always feels like a a party is going on inside it. I wonder if its gas. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Help! I can't live off sf Popsicles forever. (That's all I want to eat).

Thanks. I am really bummed because I was doing so good before the stones hit. I could eat just about anything. Now everything hurts. It's just frustrating.

It's the first thing I thought of. Maybe you can have it declared medically necessary and get it free from the government.

      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.

        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!
