So I keep getting this cramp in my left side. Feels like something is getting lodged or stuck in the muscle there. Then when I stretch slightly it goes away...then comes back again. It's very close to my main incision. Anyone else experience this?

Yes I experienced pain in my left side near the incision site as well.. You may experience this pain from time to time as ;you heal....I had days when there was no pain there but then some days it would remind me it was still healing. Just take it easy doing stretches of any kind until your doctor oks it. It took about 6 weeks or so before I stopped having that pain in my left side.

I'm also cramping on the side but on my back...like kidney area. Weird.

Okay so the cramping has mostly gone away. BUT...

As of last weekend (which was 2 weeks post op), I started feeling sharp pain, almost a pulling feeling, above my main incision on my left side. It seems to hurt more when I go into the cold, go figure.

In any case, it is annoying and hurts to the point I have to bend over slightly while moving around or hold onto the area to stop the pain. I don't feel it much when I'm sitting or lying down though.

I'm hoping this is normal. Just found it weird that this pain sensation hit 2 weeks after surgery versus from the very beginning.

Anyone else experience this?

I am 11 days post op and this exact pain just started happening to me today! If this keeps up I don't know how I'm supposed to go

Back to work on Tuesday which is 5 days. It hurts worse than the pain right after surgery!

      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!
