Had Surgery Yesterday



Recommended Posts

I haven't been able to sleep much, I keep feeling like I'm going to throw up, but its burping that I'm doing. Anyone else experience this? What do I do? It hurts my stomach :(

I hate to say what you already have heard 500 times but walk, walk, walk. I found myself walking at all hours to relieve the gas-y pain in my stomach. Good luck and congrats!

Burping is normal . The burping will go away with time. And yes walk as much as you can to relieve the gas pain.

I had the same thing I was carrying around a puke bucket my entire hospital stay. because every time I sat up or walked it felt like I was going to throw up but all that came out was burps. Walking helps and so does Gas-X extra strength thin strips peppermint. I had my husband run out and buy them for me because my hospital didn't give me anything for gas.

I had the gas pains too.... Ouch! But noticed my Nauseau was more from talking too much. See if that's why. And then I just let the nurse n visitors know that. After the second day it was almost gone and then by the 3rd day it was over.... Good luck!

That is exactly what my doctor said!!! That my nausea was caused by me talking. Now I thought he was coooky because I am in a third world country and they have myths and wives tales but maybe he was right.

      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!
