I'm sorry Rhonda, Do you think it is pain from incisions or gas? A heating pad may help. Good luck and feel better.

Walk walk walk. It seems to help the most with the pain.

Is it pain all over or more like you have been kicked in the tummy by a horse??? The largest incision is where the excess tummy was removed so the muscle was cut. I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow ( June 19th ) and I am still just a bit sore. Able to sleep on my tummy but still hurts to turn over. If it is up in your back and shoulders/neck it's gas. Not the kind you can toot out either. From being inflated. Walk ( baby steps ) as much as you can. Tell the nurses so they can give you something or call the Sr. and see what he or she wants to do. Don't feel like you are being a bother. They are paid to take care of you. ASK for help.

For a lot of people days two and three are the worst. You will be on the other side of this before you know it.

I am 3 weeks post op

When I came out of surgery I was in so much pain and I thought it was the incisions. It turned out to be the gas pain. The gas pain was unbelievable to me. The incisions were a piece of cake. I have had c-sections and it was nothing like that.

It's true what they say walking makes it easier

I am 10 days out and I can't even remember what the pain felt like anymore. I feel fantastic! It's all for a great purpose. Take ur pain killer and wait it out. It's part of the process.

Hey guys thank you. I've had lots of pain and nausea throwing up too. It's excruciating pain just getting up and down to the bathroom. I'm hoping Tommorow will be better

Sorry you are so miserable :( By day 4 or 5, you will definite feel better. The first 3-4 days were the hardest. I'm 9 weeks out now and I honestly can't remember much. All I remember was the bed was miserable. Feel better, it will get better.

      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!
