I can sooo relate to you. My same surgery was last Friday. I get dizzy and am very weak from the extreme low calories I am consuming.

Hang in there. We will get through this and be better for it.

Welcome to the other side, Bill! The neck and chest pain took me 5 full days to get rid of, but it DID finally go away. Give it a couple more days and see if you feel better. If you are getting short of breath and feeling faint maybe you should slow down--are you doing too much too soon?

Yeah I might be drinking too fast or something just like right now I’m bloated after having my last Protein Shake

That's the laparoscopy gas if you feel it in shoulders..as soon as you pee for 3 times it will be gone.. try to drink your meal slowly.. drink it in 20-30mins or more..Also for fainting, I felt like that too so I took Iv Ringer' solution twice.. once a day till day 6.. it helped me a lot[emoji4]

Get some if the one ounce medicine cups. Drink from them and try to stick to one ounce every 15 minutes. That’s worked for 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.

        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!
