What did I do to myself?



Recommended Posts

I don't have anymore gas pains. Just pain in one of the incision areas to the left. Also, is it normal to FEEL the actual liquid that I am drinking going down my stomach and when it reaches my intestines I get a little cramp that quickly goes away. Also my insides are LOUD and making all kinds of noises now.

I agree with nyteacher125, it's great to see updates of how things are progressing for you so I can get a realistic idea of what to expect. Glad you are feeling better!

You're going to be ok ((hugs)). First few days are rough, but it will get better. I'm 13 days post op and feel so great. I just read my first texts to my sister from day 1 -3 it's almost a blur. That's how much better you will feel. Walk & drink (sip) your Water and plenty of it.

You're kidding! Now that I think about it this sounds familiar, I'm in Pok as well. Not familiar with your doc, mine is in Westchester, surgery will be in Putnam Hospital. Where was yours?

First 12.weeks were unpleasant but since I was dying of obesity I took the long view. Now years post sleeve - I am happy!

      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!
