Hi. This does sound like trapped wind. Try lying flat and rubbing where it hurts and try to relax. I seem to constantly have wind eze lozenges in my pocket or in my mouth. I'm four weeks post op. I'm sure this passes in time. Peppermint tea or extra strong mints also really help.

I kept a box of Gas-X thin strips (the ones that melt on your tongue) in my car and at my desk for those times. Eventually the gas went away.

I had a pain that i was sure was kidney trouble after eating, about 3 months out. Started out after/during supper as a "stuck" feeling, too big of a bite, whatever you want to call it... but it settled into a bad left flank pain that i was sure was going to turn into kidney stones or some other horrible thing. Turned out to be nothing. Had my bloodwork done, no kidney issues, hasnt happened again.

      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'. ???

      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!
