Please don't let the Dr.'s put you off, the patient knows when something is wrong or not working right. Insists on a second and third opinon. God Bless you anf best of luck on the 20 th.

My friend had a twisted intestine that fell into the "gap" where they removed part of her intestines. She had bypass. She's been having pain and bathroom issues as well and finally couldn't take it anymore and went to ER. They flew her right away to a specialty hospital in OK to go straight into surgery. They said if she had waited 2 more hours she would have died. She worked that morning as if nothing was wrong too btw. Listen to your body and don't take chances. Don't let the dr send you away if you feel like something is wrong. Ask for another dr.

If you feel like something is wrong, don't stop telling the doctors. We know our bodies best. My friend had the same issues and they told her the only thing left to do was exploratory surgery. She so to do it and they found a twisted colon! This sounds like your only option at this point. Again, you are in my prayers and I wish you the best. Keep us posted!

      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!
