Had my surgery on June 10 and yesterday I went to the grocery store. I picked up a large package of Water bottles and put them in the cart. I remember feeling a little bit of pain and thought oh I better not do that again. Ever since then, that biggest incision site has gotten more sore. Now its painful to cough or lay on that side! Anyone else experience this?

You may want to call your doctor and check in.

I am apprehensive about the same issue. I'm like, who is going to carry my big a** purse? The answer? Me. The kids said they would help me put my classroom up, but you know how that is. Please go to the Dr. just to make sure it's not serious. Let us know what happens. Get well soon.

this is what I had, when I went to see them I had pulled the abdominal wall where they had cut through the muscle to do the sleeve they told me it is not unheard of and happens a lot and not to worry to much two weeks later the pain has pretty much gone but I would suggest you get it checked out for peace of mind

It is probably nothing, but this is something you should check in with your doctor about. Good luck & LIFT FROM YOUR LEGS! :P

I called the doctor and they got on to me for lifting Water. I can't lift anything over 10 lbs for 6 weeks...my bad, I thought it was 3 weeks. She told me to watch for nausea, vomiting, or fever, but she thought I would be fine in a few days. Its so sore!

      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!
