The burning and growling isn't hunger it's acid. As everyone has said, call your dr and get on a strong antacid ASAP and it will be gone. I took Protonix for five months post op.

Try drinking some chicken broth. The warm Soup may help curb your hunger.

Today is such a better day. I'm not sure as to why... But hey!! I guess as days pass things will get easier.

I stepped on the scale today when I got home and I'm already down 8 lbs since Tuesday. Previously I took nexium but he didn't tell me to take any meds and I have to start my Vitamins next week. The reflux is horrible. I feel like I need something thicker like a Protein Shake. I don't know if that's safe being I'm only 2 days out.... At this point in regretting doing the surgery my tummy is burning so bad. I know it will get better, but the process is killing me. Best part is I wasn't even a big food eater prior to the surgery. Everyone says head hunger but this is my stomach burning and growling....

My doctor told me to take Prilosec/Omeprazole 20mg 2 x per day for at least 4 months. I promise if you take it, you will feel a whole lot better. I purchased 4 months worth in Mexico before coming home from surgery. I have never felt heart burn post op. I do feel "hunger" when I forget to take it.

My best to you! Hope this helps.

Try not to think about it... It's hard but it's only in your head...try to think of any thing else. Hold on :)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
