Any September surgeries out there

I've been walking like crazy...I've burped a ton though

I had surgery 09/16 @ 10:00 CST and didn't start passing gas until today 09/18. It makes you feel better, so hopefully it will start soon. My husband is acting like a drill sergeant and he makes me walk, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm trying to be as independent as I can. I still make my son's meals and cups, but since he is over 10 lbs I can't pick him up for 3 weeks :( I walk around the house pretty good.

Hey guys!! Nervous wreck here. Monday I started to have foot pain' date=' so Tuesday I saw the dr and thought it was gout, blood work done. By end of day swelling was huge. She thought I had a blood clot so went for a doppler this morning, got blood results which sed rate was sky high. Was called back to hospital for more test. Now I am waiting to go to specialist on Monday. They want me to take aspirin but only two days cause Friday is last day for blood thinners. Please say a little prayer that he is gonna release me for surgery on the 27th.[/quote']

sending prayers your way...

I haven't farted or had a bm either. Very worried bc i am soo tender that I am not sure how I can. Got out of the hospital today and boy was that crazy. Had to go around town looking for a pharmacy that actually had roxicodone and would supply for my insurance. Some tears were shed. Im ok now but the meds don't seem to last the full four hours in between. Tummy very swollen. Crossing my fingers that I can get back to work as scheduled.

I've had a BM. My surgeon told me he'd let me go home if I farted and literally 10 minutes later I thought I had to fart but it was more LOL (TMI). Now they have to see if I'm tolerating the liquids but I'm hoping they let me go. I'm getting frustrated.

I have the urge to want to throw up today, I really hope I don't, because I heard it was super painful.

I've thrown up twice and it's not fun at all. Hurts like a bitch. They keep telling me to "listen to the pouch" and not to push it.

I find it weird I have 4 holes and a hole for a drainage tube. They are all on my lower stomach. From pictures it looks like 5 holes in the shape of a V. Wonder why mine are different.

I keep asking them, which do you want damn it?! It's basically impossible right now for me to get 64oz of Water and 80 grams of Protein in. I'm walking great and I'm finally starting to not feel so full.

      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!
