My hip joints hurt. I can't figure out how it relates to surgery, but I never had it before!

Maybe Vitamin D is low? A friend who had the surgery told me he had joint pains and took Vitamin d and it helped. I have had more knee pain recently I increased my vitamin d and it helped. Be careful with d it is an oil soluble vitamin and can build up so don't take megadoses.

I have/had RA since before and after surgery- It was bad after surgery mainly due to the shock of my immune system with anesthesia etc. But since losing weight the joint pain has gotten better. I dont know how long it has been since your surgery but I know they that the position you are in during surgery for 1-2 hours can sometimes cause pain immediately afterwards for a few days but that is purely positional- If it continues I would mention it to your PCP- you may need to see a rheumatologist.

Talk to your surgeon about the pain in your left arm. Is it just in the joint or all over? I don't mean to scare you at all,,but a symptom of a leak can be left shoulder/arm pain. It was one of the first symptoms I had.

No it's pain in my elbow and wrist! It goes away with a heating pad! And it's not consistant! I started powder Vitamins in my Protein and it is getting a little more tolerable!

Yea I have the same pain in my elbows and wrist. I, too, am wondering what it is and I am also at the end of my third week? Just start about a week ago. It's driving me crazy. Can't sleep too well.

      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!
