I seem to be having suture rejection, I was healing great. It looked great then I had a seam split, followed by infection. Long story to short. I'm am now on antibiotics but my stomach is swollen and very hard and painful with an open wound.

who has had the similar issues and what test did you have and how did you improve???

I hope things have improved for you. Are you continuing to have problems? Where on your body is the open incision?

How are you doing now, a few months out? I do hope there were no more complications!

I'm much better now. My left side waist split probably wasn't a suture split but Fluid needing to burst out. It was extremely painful for weeks as my side swelled to a football size each day. My skin would crack from the swelling, unfortunately my left side isn't as tight but no one really sees it. I don't have love handles anymore and love my belly button. I do need touch ups on my back where they started the cuts as the skin has bunched but they will do it in the office this winter when I'm done swimming. Thanks for asking and checking on 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!
