Recommended Posts

Hi all, I had gastric sleeve surgery April 20th and still experiencing severe pain on the right side of my abdomen. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was thinking that, but I've had this pain since Day 1 and it hasn't subsided. I'm wondering if it's just bruising on my insides...maybe the liver? The left hand side of my stomach is find when I press down, the right side is painful.

How's your recovery going? I'm now 13 days out and getting better, but still have that annoying pain on the right.

I'd look at it as a learning experience - now you (and hubby) know how much you can take in. I went through something similar a few days ago thinking they I was close enough to my soft foods phase to order baked salmon and mashed potatoes. Definitely way wrong. I only managed maybe a tablespoon of the salmon and the mash before things got uncomfortable. That was $$$ down the drain.

      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!
