I'm nine days out, and it's still painful to go from sitting to standing. The assorted rest of the pain issues have subsided, but that sit or lay to standing is gripping.

Was your surgery laproscopic? I was just wondering why so much pain still....I plan to have mine on a surgery and go back to work on the following Sunday night....(I work midnights). I talked this over with my surgeon and with some light restrictions he said I could go back then. Now I'm freaking out a bit because I haven't been there long enough to have vacation time to use.

I was totally able to go back to work in 2 days. I probably could have gone back the very next day.

Mine was laproscopic, but I also had gastric plication, he repaired a hiatal hernia, and took out my gallbladder. It's hard to know what's causing what, but the pain from sitting to standing is where the largest incision is; in and around where the port is.

My pain isn't debilitating, it's just....there. I can walk fine, and it's not so bad that it keeps me down. I get tired in the afternoons & rest. But it's better and better each day.

If I'm calculating correctly, you will have 11 days to recoup before going back to work? If that's correct, and as long as you do not have a job that requires lifting or being on your feet for hours at a time, you should probably be okay. But I'm basing that on the overall comments I've read in this forum, from lap band only surgeries.

      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!
