This is NOT for the faint of heart. This is TOUGH. I did really good the first 2 days in hospital but night of day two

​was a different story. The gas build up in my stomach became intensely painful. I walked laps around the hospital

floor trying to get it to move with no success. Stomach is extremely sore. I was asked last night if I made the right

choice and I know that right now is not the time to answer this. I will just say this is really tough.

First full day home and just working on liquids, getting in the Vitamins, eating pureed foods, Protein. Also, walking around

still trying to kick my bowels into action. I am really looking forward to these next two days going by as I am sure I will

feel better soon. Struggling right now.

I promise it will get better! I had a similar experience and used a heating pad, gas x and walked a lot. After the 1st week most of the gas pain finally disappeared. Good luck!

I cannot agree with you more. This surgery is really really painful. I am still in the hospital first night have awful gas pains, throwing up bloody Mucas and just praying for it to end.

The easy way out? Yeah right. I am paying for every binge and every extra bite I ever took right now.

Us people that make it through this surgery a strong as nails.

      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!
