Hello Sleevers,

I am a newby and am having real concerns. My abdomen is so distended and seems to be getting worse. I feel fine, am without a temp, on Clear liquids, and with only mild incisional pain. Can anyone please advise?

It's probably gas but it might be an idea to check with your team.

Thank you for responding. I have only lost 4-5 lbs and am drinking only Clear Liquids. My stomach is very distended, taut but not rigid.

I hope so Kate, is a bit concerning.

Is it possible your weight is dropping so it looks swollen? Do you have a tube in you?

no tube left in, just sleeved.

I'm a week out from surgery and I have lost 6lbs during that week. I noticed today that my abdomen looks larger then before. I have been blaming swelling and irritation from the surgery. If that's true or not I'm not sure, but anywho just wanted to say I'm having the same thing going o with me hopefully it's just one of this things!

      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!
