When was your surgery?

If you are newly post op and have lung pain and/or shortness of breath, you should report this immediately. Blood clots are not all that uncommon (I had 3 in my leg a week after surgery) and can travel to the lungs. This needs immediate attention.

Please seek medical attention immediately! I had the same symptoms at almost one week post op and was diagnosed with clots in both lungs. Don’t wait! Better to be safe than sorry.

Please call your doctor right away and let them know what is going on. they will probably send you to the er to get a chest xray, at least. It hasn't been that long since your surgery. It is possible for a clot to form in a leg and break off and travel to the lung.

I didn't get blood clots but I did get Pleurisy. No treatment for it.

Is it under your left rib? Or higher? If it's under the rib then it could be splenic flexure. I get a lot of trapped air here and it can really hurt. Gets worse for me at certain times of the month, or sometimes if I'm backed up or have eaten something gassy. Best to get it checked out though just to make sure.

Is that for me? I'm just wondering how far up in her chest this is... upper as in above the breast or is it somewhere under the rib? That can sometimes feel like lung. Splenic flexure is around the rib area.

No darling. I can't quite figure out why I did that. I'm pretty sure it's a brain fart or total train (of thought) derailment. #snort!

Oh and I like the possiblity of splenic flexure! :)

      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!
