OMG !!!!! So I had my gastric bypass last Wednesday the 13th, they released me from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Well, I knew I gained some weight because I look like the an over filled sausage !!! They told me it was due to all the fluids they have me in my IV .... Well I hopped on the scale and I almost had a heart attack... I'm 20 lbs heavier then when I had my surgery !!! Is this normal ??? If so does it go away quickly??? I'm freaking out here!

Thanks everyone !! I was really worried! Other than that, I'm getting better with less pain every day! It might also be because I still have not farted ever!!! My dr. Said it was ok and finally last night I had a bm!!! I was so happy!!! But I do burp every time I drink something

      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!
