Thanks. I am post op day two. For the most part the nausea has subsided. Not much pain to speak of. The rumbling gas started this morning. I got some much needed sleep last night. But I woke up with heartburn this morning and that was the one thing I was most concerned with because it was terrible with the band. I am taking nexium. I am hoping this works and it may be because I am only on liquids. I hope I can get more liquids in today. Yesterday I did terrible. I may have been lucky if I got in 6oz. I guess its because all the swelling. Hoping for a better day today. I ran low grade fever last night but I know thats expected with surgery. How are you coming along?

Yesterday was rough with rumbling. I took magnesium citrate and BOY did that help. I had really bad acid reflux and took the antacid the doc prescribed. Woke up this morning and feel fabulous! I am not having trouble sipping but I am not even trying to deviate from the diet plan. I don't want to test any limits after being so miserable with the band and going to the sleeve

Had mine May 26th Baylor Plano TX. First 2 days were hard, mostly just the gas. Today, 4 days post op, or 5 days if u count operation day, and I feel normal again. So much energy. It is a full time job getting down fluids and Protein. Haven't weighed yet, thought I'd save that for first post op appt at dr office. They sent me home with a drain, that has been the biggest pain. Good luck!

      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!
