Does anyone else have this problem, everything I eat seems to get stuck in my chest or that is what it feels like. I am two weeks post op and it just seems like everything I eat gets stuck. I also had a hiatal hernia repair along with the sleeve. Anybody else??

Im 2 weeks post op and had the hiatal hernia repair too. The first days i felt justbas you described but it does get better. And i just had my followup and my doc said its normal that it hurts im the area where the hernia was repaired because of the swelling within. Hope you feel better soon!

I had the hernia repair too and I'm still a little tender... I'm only 10 days post op and was just cleared to eat puree foods. What types of things are you eating?

Hi I had the hernia repair as well. I am 3 months out and am not able to drink or eat much. I keep heartburn and vomit often. They have given me so many kinds of meds to help. Nothing seems to help.

I'm 6 months out and had both done, I had the same problem and it didn't matter how slow I ate. It just sat there with pressure! It gets better!!

      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!
