Hello my name is Regina and I am new to the group sites and this will be my first time having the surgery but I just want to know from people that already done it: does it hurt when you have surgery because I'm scared as I don't know what

welcome....

in terms of pain following the surgery it's one of the easiest surgeries I've had.

I did have a nerve block, if they offer it to you I strongly recommend it. otherwise they will give you pain meds. if your meds don't work great for you ask them to try something else.

your pain following surgery should be manageable.

I had my surgery just 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I did not feel anything during the operation. As soon as they gave me anesthesia, the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery an hour later. There was no immediate pain just soreness which is to be expected. Honestly, all I really felt like doing in the hospital after was sleeping but realized quickly that walking would help get the bloating down and pushed myself to do that. I generally have pain with gas but didn't have any just bloating. The only pain was minimal soreness from the surgery but everyone's story is different. You have to weigh that with the pain/feeling you have with your current health situation. Good luck.

      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.

        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!
