Simone, that is exactly what is happening to me when I stand up. Then, I have this constant feeling of needing to get air out of my stomach.

I had pain for about two weeks. Then in to my 3rd week I had awful pain below my left incision for about 9 days. Hurt to walk, breath, sit up. Doctor assured me this was normal, he said it was basically nerve pain. Luckily it too subsided and almost 6 weeks out I’m starting to feel normal. I went through a very difficult time emotionally too, it was hard to see the light. Best of luck!

Glad to hear things are finally smoothing out, yeah surgery even with the best of times " rocks our world" to the very foundations. Glad your path is looking clearer.

I'm 5 weeks out and am now having the nerve pain in my big incision. The surgeon said they did a deep stitch there because of the damage of the camera. It's been about a week but hope it gets better soon.

I am struggling hard with my Fluid intake as well. If i try to force myself I feel over full and I've actually made myself nauseaous from forcing it down. Normal Water is too heavy and hurts so am always having to flavour it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
