I'm not sure if I can phrase this so anyone wil understand. Lol! But I'm going to try. I'm 5 weeks post op. For the most part my insides should be "healed." I understand my internal anatomy was reconfigured and my physical stomach is smaller. But can/does anyone else 5 weeks out or more "feel" like their insides are odd or different, feel raw, etc? Like I said it's hard for me to explain. It's not like something feels "wrong" just not like it used to all the time. And if you understand my ramblings did/does it ever go away?

I started to feel that after a couple of weeks. I could literally take a drink of something and count to 30 and feel it hit my pouch. It was weird for sure. I don't really notice it anymore though.

My fiance told me to stop trying to explain how I was "reconfigured" because all he could think of was that movie "Human centipede" and it freaked him out. LOL

I'm two weeks out today and yes I know what you mean. I tried some thicker consistency food tonight and it got stuck. I now know for sure exactly where my pouch is because I coul feel it and feel my stomach eveytime it was moving.

      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!
