Just make sure you are passing gas or having a bm. I was the same way and ended up having an emergency appendectomy. Anything can happen I suppose!

Congrats on your surgery..Sounds like your in discomfort and from what I read it's pretty normal....I'm researching to see is there anything I can do before my surgery to prevent the gas pains. It sounds like it hurts...but, overtime it subsides. I hope you get some relief soon. Hang in there!

I'm in Day 5 and by day 3 all of my Gaia pains vanished!! Hoping they don't come anytime soon. I'm sure as I eat more food I will have gas. If your haven't already buy some Gas-X strips. They work wonder and start working very quickly. Walking can be hard so early but it's super helpful!

      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!
