Recommended Posts

I know this question is asked 100 times I just dont feel like looking right now. Just curious what are the symptoms of a leak...I threw up after eating some tuna and now I feel dizzy. Is that just from throwing up?

Janice-

Do you have a fever or having any pain?

That can be from the throwing up. If you get pain in an area that u have not had it before and start running a fever, you may have a leak. Go to the ER. I am a nurse so please follow this. Also if you get tender and re in a spot on your stomach please go to ER. If you feel "not right" please do not put it off. Better to see doctor and it be small then ignoring problem and it becoming big.

Hopefully you weren't eating and drinking at the same time. The racing heart thing can be from putting too much in your stomach. I made that mistake a couple times this week.

No I wasn't. ..I always wait 1/2 hour before I drink.

Feeling dizzy is normal even without throwing up at this point. Just drink Water, it will pass.

Was this your first time adding fish? You may not be able to handle it. I almost threw up biting into a shrimp :( I can't seem to tolerate seafood as well anymore.

      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!
