Only two? I have five incisions

I have two small incisions above my belly button and that's it, when they heal I don't think I'll have a scar. I also started my period the day I came home from the hospital. I'm 10 days post op, on full liquids just watery Protein Shakes, Water, and broth. I haven't taken any pain meds the bottle was never opened, I feel blessed to have the surgeon I did, since my pain tolerance is very low. 15lbs down and diabetes seems to be gone ????

For me the pain is much worse than c section. Not even in same league!

I am so uncomfortable after 48 hours I am starting to regret this whole thing, it's not the incisions it's the heart burn and gas.

I've never had kids and as I said before I have a low pain tolerance. When I was in the recovery room the gas pains were pretty bad they gave me some strong stuff, but I remembered that a lot of people on here had said that waking helps so as soon as I was able I walked and it did help.

My dr removed the pain pump less than 24 hours after the operation. Then 48 hours he removed all pain pills. Not only am I suffering from the surgery pain but I have a massive Migraine. I'm thinking of checking myself out just so I can get some proper medication to get rid of this head pain.

      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?

        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.
