Weird Question



Recommended Posts

On September 18th, I was 3 month post-op. I have started a cardio and small weight exercise class and I have found when I do sitting exercises like sit-ups or when I lay on my side to do leg lifts or side sit-ups that I can feel my stomach. It is almost like it is moving around or rolling around inside my body. Is this normal?

Hmm... I've never experienced that myself (not yet anyway), but they did remove a big piece of one of our internal organs. It's not unreasonable to think things may have shifted around a bit in there, and feel a bit different. I remember my grandmother felt weird after her hysterectomy. I'm sure it's normal, nothing to worry about! :)

Plus you are losing the fat around your organs so everything is shifting and you will start to actually feel your insides again.

Hi teacher.. It's been a while but don't remember that feeling. Good job on the excersise, I'm sure as long as there's no pain your fine.

It sort of makes sense...from watching the procedure on utube, they do dissect the stomach from the connective tissue with the blood vessels. It must be a weird experience!

      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!
