Sorry to hear that I hope you feel better. I’ll be going through it next week.

I had surgery on February 19th. I have no pain but I am uncomfortable! My stomach gurgles but I don’t know if that means I’m hungry or if it’s gas. I’m trying to get in all the liquids I can, I all of a sudden don’t like Jello (I loved it before surgery). I’d love to try Protein Shakes, yogurt or thinned out oatmeal but I’m only 4 days post op. I have no energy so I lay or sit around with added walking inside the house. My butt actually hurts from laying/sitting so much. Before surgery I wore glasses all the time since surgery everything is blurring when I wear them. I asked about it in the hospital before I was discharged, was told that it should go away as it could be from the anesthesia.

I know things will get better for you! Aside from the gurgles and blurred vision I would say you made out pretty good!

Had sleeve on 2/17 with hiatal hernia repair, and I'm back to work today, feeling good except for some constipation/gas.

Got sleeved on 2/24. Mild discomfort day of surgery and day after. I am home now. 2 small episodes of nausea from Tylenol pills- spit up foam 1 time. Walking, not tired, getting all of my liquids in. Sneezing a lot ( not sure why). Taking Tylenol in powder form to keep pain away. No regrets. No worries.

      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!
