Recommended Posts

I feel fine if I'm not moving, but getting up and down is really painful. Will it feel better in a few days?

I'm one day ahead of you (banded on the 25th) and I felt like you do yesterday. It hurt to get up and down, sleeping was uncomfortable. But I woke up today feeling a lot better. I sat up to get out of bed and was surprised that it didn't hurt as much anymore. I'm still sore but it is a lot better. Today the gas is moving through my body but it is not too uncomfortable. Feel better and take care of yourself! I took my pain meds through this morning too.

I feel the same way you do , I just got banded , not 24 hours ago , once I am up am moving around , I figure out it is more comfortable to sit at the computer chair then on the couch

My surgery was on a Monday and I needed help getting in and out of bed and chairs for a couple of days and also had some shoulder gas pains. By that Friday I felt a ton better and by being able to walk more, the gas pains went away and every day as I healed, I was able to get up and down without problems. Give it a week. Good Luck

About 5 days. Then I was pretty much back to normal, maybe running 85%. I was 100% about 2 or 3 weeks :) nothing hurt anymore and I could move freely.

I had surgery on the 14th, was still sore and only able to sleep on my back until the 24th, then I was able to sleep on my side, and around the 27th (yesterday) my stomach. No pain now, two weeks out.

Yes, you will feel better in a few days, much better in a week. I had a bunch of pain where the port is for about a month, it wasnt' until six weeks post op that I really felt normal. I thought I would have that pain forever but finally its gone.

Take it easy. Rest and take your pain meds.

Good luck!

      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!
