Hi I just had my surgery friday the 30th. I need to know if this is normal. Everytime I swallow even my own saliva it hurts soooo bad! Every time I swallow I feel like a burp is coming up but it gets stuck and feels like its going to explode and wont come out! I keep getting like indigestion hiccups! Please give me advice!

Tonya,

I feel the same way. We had surgery the same day and I have been having the hiccups and painful swallowing. My issue is phlem and my dr suggested mucinex. I am still haviing stomach pain, but i guess that is normal.

Pain in your throat may be from the breathing tube they had to put in to breathe for you.

Thank you sooo much for replying so quickly. It helps to know it normal and will get better. Mucinex does work really well. I'm having that problem too. I hope you feel better and I'm sure we will in a couple of days!

Yes the tube is definitely part of it and they repaired a hernia too, so I think its a combination of everything. Its nice to know its normal and thank you for replying. It's nice to have people to talk to about this that has experienced the same procedure.

I had surgery on the 28th. When does the pain in the abdomen go away? It feels like a burning pulling of the muscles. Tylenol doesnt work and the scripts knock me out.

ACM, take the Meds. Pain is different for different people. I'm 2 weeks out and I still have pain. (But then I was told I have a fubroid on my last office visit).

The pain started getting better about the 8th or 9th day.

      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!
