Uh - oh. If you still have a gallbladder, Google gallstone symptoms. Just sayin'. But to avoid a serious case of Google-itis and needless worry about everything else we could suggest from our vast wealth of personal experience, you should call your doctor.

Thanks miss mac I did google my symptoms nd thAt was the most things that came up. Really worried as I dnt want to go they surgery again. Really pee'd off as I thought my surgeon wud have advised me n have it removed when having the band put in! I hated recovery as it's hard when u have three kids relying on u also. Thought my Tummy Tuck would be my last surgical procedure to go through in the near future. Have an appointment with my doctor tmro.. Let's c wah happens... Keep u posted and thanks for the reply x

I had mine out back in 1973 when they still split you half in two. I was in the hospital eleven days. Now they do the laparascpoic surgery and you are practically in and out like the drive-through at McDonalds. The before pain can be far worse than the recovery. I hope the doctor can find some relief for you.

      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.

        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!
