I had my swallow test for leaks. No leaks found. I had bad diarrhea. I am finally starting to take sips of Water. Should be getting a lunch tray with broth. Pain is not that bad. I have been passing gas. Just waiting for 6:00 to be discharged. Nurses are making sit up and walk.

Hey everyone... So glad to be on the other side! But honestly, in quite a bit of pain and having some nausea.. I had band removal, hietal hernia repair, sleeve, and removal of scar tissue. Had my leak test this morning and everything looks good. Sipping on fluids now...

I am still in the hospital. Planning to leave sometime today. Nausea and pain was HORRIBLE the last 2 days. Im feeling much better now. Incision sites are not painful anymore. i am dealing with the gas they used to inflate me. Im waiting for nature to take its course!

I came hope last night. Having a problem trying to get my Protein Shake down. A few sips down and I feel so much pain. I guess it's gas pains and I am burping it up. So I guess I am full. I only had a few sips. I am resting for now. Will try again in 1 hour. Does any one have any suggestions for me?

Hey there... Trapped gas is definitely the worst part for me too. I have been walking, taking the maximum allowed gas x strips, and desperately hope I will burp or pass gas. I feel like if this gas gets fixed I will feel pretty darn good!

      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!
