The gas is the worst. My gas was trapped in my left shoulder. Is that where yours is? I put a heating pad on my shoulder which helped. For the other gas, you just have to walk it off. Some people take Beano. Hope is goes away. Congrats on taking the steps to become more healthy.

Hey! Banded earlier this morning as well! Gas in in my shoulder as well! Some in my back too! Its worse than the incisions! How many incisions do you have? I asked my doc about 2093 questions after the Surgery. I'm glad you are doing well, I'm happy for the both of us! :D

The gas is in my chest and collar bone area! I'm walking around a lot to get it moving! I'm kinda having buyers remorse ! What did I do to myself????

The gas is the worst thing. Try the heating pad for your shoulder it does help. The other just takes time to work its way out. I have 5 incisions. On day 5 you will start turning the corner and will be able to crawl in your bed on your side and sleep. It is wonderful. Right now you are having to sleep sitting up in a recliner right? Hang in there! Every day gets better and better. The very center of my back hurt. Why I don't know. Maybe it was trapped gas. It will all be worth it. Trust me! You do wonder what did I do to myself. I'm telling you on day 5 the worst will be over. Take little sips. My chest hurt alot. Not sure what that was all about but it was very uncomfortable. I think my band was spasming when I would drink something really cold. Try warm tea for it to calm down. That too went away after day 5. Hang in there!

      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!
