I was sleeved yesterday. So far I can't keep anything. The gas pain is horrible and I can't take a deep breath. I just call the dr he is sending new meds since I can't hold down the Vicodin. We I get up and walk I get really dizzy and nauseous.

Anyone have any tricks to help me please!?!

Thank you

GasX is a wonderful thing, try to take the strips and it will help. Do what you can to stay hydrated and drink the tiny sips of Water that you can. It will get better, although it doesn't seem like it now.

The dr changed my Vicodin to a pain patch and gave me zofran to take for the nausea. When I get up I'm really dizzy and increasing nauseous. I've only used one gas strip today. Ill use it again shorty. I'm just glad my hubby stayed how to take care of me. He's the greatest :)

Walk walk walk with assistance of course!!! And don't forget to use your incentive spirometer!!! I know it's hard but the worst will be over very very shortly! Don't worry!! Stay positive although I know it's hard!! And yes GasX strips was my lifesaver

      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.

      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!
