Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Sleeved @8am this morning & was up walking by 11:30, after being in the recovery room for 20 mins. Stomach is a lol sore, most of the pain WAS in my shoulder from gas.

I was told to get back in bed by 2pm since I started bleeding from one of the surgery sites, from doing to much to fast. Shoulder not hurting as much.

I will be going home tomorrow. Woohoo thank you Jesus.

I was sleeved last week Tuesday. The hospital I was in required us to walk the floor every 2 hours even overnight to get rid of the gas and help ease the pain. The walk was not long, maybe 10 minutes. I must say I had minimal gas and by day 2 no pain. Today 9 days out, the only sign or reminder I just had major surgery is the incisions. Good luck & keep moving.

Thank you for that post. There's hope that there will be minimal pain. I keep reading how people are in pain for days. Hope mine goes as well as yours. Walking sounds like the ticket.

      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!
