Hello, congratulations on your surgery. What helped me was a heating pad, I placed it on my chest, shoulders and tummy. Took pain meds in liquid form of course, lasted on my left and that helped me. Good luck. It will go away and get better, every day will be better.

Keep walking as much as you can, and get “gas-x” strips... that will help out.. wishing you a speedy recovery pal..

Congrats ! I had surgery 12/19. Today is the first day I felt relief. I walked a lot and tried GasX . I felt the walking helped more. GasX didn’t do much for me.

Good to know I’m not odd. I have to walk up/down stairs to restroom. So quite a bit of walking.

Thanks!

Today for me has been a great day. Woke up better , got more liquid in. Protein didn’t do will I will try a different flavor. Sort of got heart burn with chocolate. Still was really good. TMI - had a BM . A little constipated probably from all the pain meds at the hospital. Is it bad to push when you have to go. I’m concerned. Tried not to but sort of had too. Sorry for the details .

Congratulations! I’m day 3 post op and the best advice I can offer is to get up and walk around. It has helped with the gas and bloating. Also TMI, still waiting on a BM. Started taking Myrolax this morning. Hopefully that will get things moving.

Congrats! Waiting on a BM here too. Yes likely all the opiates if straining is causing pain I would worry

Not taking anything except what already rx as far as meds/diet. Walking and time I think will work.

My gas was horrendous and I couldn't release it. The combination of walking and mylicon drops began to help after a few hours. Its most painful in the first day or two, I'm now at day 5 and it only occurs if i take too big a sip.

Balance and rest - lots of it :-) I tend to be a go go go person

(walking for sure and some hh activity- making sure I rest up to heal up. )

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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?
