Had gastric sleeve surgery 2 weeks ago. Can the staples come undone and my stomach open up inside? Are there any symptoms to know if that were to happen?

I don't think it's that simple or at least that's what my doctor told me. Are you feeling unusual pain? Give us more of a reason why you are inquiring. Did you eat something you weren't supposed to? Keep us updated.

I'm not a pro but isn't that the natural healing of your body? Have you ever felt a paper cut and it starts to feel cold during the heLing process? Ask a doctor bc I'm just guessing...lol

My surgeon told me it's not that easy to undo staples unless a person is totally blowing the protocol eating program an heavily lifting. ..he's done this for 15 yrs...it's not just a few staples it's all from one end to another. ..u would experience severe stomach pain fever vomiting an the like if it's ripped or leaking...

      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.

      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!
