48 Hours Post Surgery.



Recommended Posts

Hi. I am 48 hours post surgery, did anyone else feel great lying down but when you get up you feel like you need to burp really bad and cant? Almost to the point I want to throw up. Not really eating a whole lot either and I do feel hungry. Any help would be great.

I felt that way for almost two wks after..a little better each day...try gas-x it really helps. The gas they pumpe underneith you skin has to be absorbed be your body in order to get it out. I was banded june 1st, and feel alot like myself now, as far as the band is concerned. I fractured my hip exercising last sunday, so I am down again..my luck. I stiill have a sharp pain under my left ribcage when I cough or move in a certain direction...first fill and check up is july 5th so ill have it checked then. You will feeel better soon. U may start having regrets, alot do..it to will pass..keep ur head up...good luck

a heating pad on your tummy will help, and laying in bed on your left side.

It is common to be full of gas post surgery, i know a lot have got relief from gas x strips, we dont get them here, but my heat pad was my saviour and in a few days u will find that the gas will start to move and find its own outlet :)

      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!
