Yes! Oh funny you say that! I feel like I went through detox. It's because we are not putting all that nasty greasy food in our bodies. :))

Surgery was about 2 1/2 weeks ago(4/8), my abdomen is very tender to the touch. It was feeling great and starting yesterday it's been very tender. I have been lifting a little more the past couple days since I'm now by myself to care for my kids. Not sure if this is normal or something I should worry about. Anyone else feeling tender/sore still?

Did you have an open or Lathroscopic procedure? I had a more than six hour open RNY a little over two weeks ago and still have periodic tenderness. Do you have any symptoms of infection? To be safe contact your operating surgeon ASAP.

I had laparoscopic. One of my incisions is a little red but I don't have a fever.

My surgery was laparoscopic with 4 incisions on April 2nd. 3 of them were completely healed in less than 2 weeks but I still have one that is not healed. Must have been the main one, it seems a tad bigger than the others. Little reddish around the edges but seems to be getting smaller and more healed each day. I am having a hard time getting in my 60g of Protein, so that could be why it is healing slowly I guess.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
