I have to assume that you are taking the pain meds that the doc gave you. You might see if there's something else you can take. I don't think it's normal to be in that kind of pain for this long. I had my surgery June 3 and I'm off the pain meds except when I sleep at night. Everyone is different when it comes to pain meds...maybe you need a stronger one or a different one? In any case, I'd contact my surgeon

Assuming you meant post-op (not pre-op), my surgeon gave me this anti-nausea suppository (I know, I know, not the most appealing) to take and it helped a lot. It also knocked me out so I could get some quality sleep.< /p>

Me personally...I had pain for the first week and a half. Mostly in my big incision, but it was intense. And by in pain, I mean doubled over and sitting very still in the recliner so that nothing moved kind of pain. Then one day, I went to get up to use the bathroom and the pain was gone...almost like it was never there to begin with.

With that said, my doctor encouraged me to use the pain meds. There is no sense in suffering after major surgery. If you run out (I ran out of pain meds within a few days) ask for more. While my doctor didn't give me more oxy's (which were amazing by the way) they gave me Vicodin which is like stronger tylenol. I took those for about two days and didn't need them anymore. But talk to your doctor, they can help!

      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!
