Recommended Posts

everytime i eat something... as soon as it hits my pouch it hurts really bad... almost like a burning...

i have had a bad couple of weeks and have made an appointment to go in and get it checked up on and possibly get a fill... but this feeling is really worrying me...

does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing the pain????:laugh:

You have done the right thing in making an appointment. How soon do you go in? How long has this been going on? You might need to go to the ER if your appointment is further away than Mon. or Tues. I am not a dr. so I can only speculate at what could be going on. I don't know if I would wait the weekend before going to the ER. If you can eat, (can you drink) there is a possibility of becoming malnourished and dehydrated. I pray that it isn't anything major,and you get it delt with quickly. Keep us posted please.

Hi:

My doctor said to call if there was pain. There shouldn't be any pain once you've healed from the surgery. You should probably call your doctor and see if they want to see you sooner. You may want to stick to liquids until then. Remember, if you cannot keep liquids down it becomes urgent for you to get medical attention because dehydration can be very serious.

Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon.

Sue

well i switched to liquids and am seeing if this will correct the issue... the bad thing is... my appt isnt until the 29th :tongue_smilie:

the burning has gone away but it feels like everything i drink is having a hard time moving through my esophagus (sp?)... and when i take a deep breath it feels like there is some pressure in my stomach... almost like there is something in there... but i havent eaten anything solid since 4 am this morning

i havent been the best bandster the past couple of weeks but i didnt think i was really doing anything to casue a serious problem...

Im gonna give it until monday morning and if i am still having the same issue im gonna call my doctors office and damand a sooner appt... this has me a little freaked out...

and thank you "gone 4 ever" for the kind words... i just hope there is no permanent damage done :tongue:

      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!
