Have you been taking Gas X every 4-6 hours? Also getting up walking and a warm shower on your belly will help too. I was banded on the 18th

Gas-X became my best friend after my surgery. Hot showers, a warm heating pad, and lying down for awhile also helped ease the pains. After I would lie down, once i did get up and walk around, it was easier to belch (or whatever...)

Heat pads, warm showers, walking and if the gas pain is in the high left tip, arm windmills and arm above head will help, doing his while walking, sit down for a few minutes and start again. When it gets to bad, heat pack, lay down on your side and push heat into it. Hope you get some relief.

      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!
