Try Gas-x tabs, they sit on your tongue and dissolve. And walk! The more you walk the less gas you will have. Good luck! Karen

Try a heatIng pad and have someone rub your back or pat it - that has been the best help. Good luck each day gets better - promise!

GasX, heating pad and walking around my apt were what got me through it. Well, the Lortab may have helped a little bit too. lol It will pass, sheriah. It may not seem like it right now, but in a couple of weeks you will only a have a faint memory of it. hang in there.

Gas-x strips worked better for me then the chewables. I also walked as much as possible. It will go away, I remember how painful it was, but I'm 6 weeks post op and it's crazy how I felt like I was dying and complaining and slowly it went away in 2 weeks. Good luck!

Sheriah, I used the gas-x strips and walked all over my house. I walked day and night and didn't get any sleep until the day after my banding. But I'm now a week out and I feel great! So it will pass. Good luck to you!

      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!
