@@TamaraRae Yes - you can take Gas X but please be aware that it may not help. The gas is more likely to be in your abdominal cavity from the surgery and not intestinal gas. The best thing for gas pain is to move - walk, rock back and forth when sitting, etc. Hang in there!

@ Call your surgeon to be sure it's nothing serious. It sounds like it could be gas as well - walk and rock back and forth and see if it improves but please - anytime there's an unknown pain - call your surgeon's office to describe it.

@ did you have a hernia repair as well? I had surgery on Monday and had terrible chest pain,,,,it finally went away yesterday. I think it was caused by the hernia repair.

It's more like gurgling sound with pressure.

I had the same problem. I found that if you get down on the floor on your hands and knees and then lower onto your elbows, this helped work the gas out. Your bottom will be a little higher than your chest. Looks and sounds odd but really did work for 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.

      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!
