I had my surgery on August 4th not loving it lets say its painful on the left side and the gas they fill you with takes a while to get out of your system as I still have it I am just now able to start puree

/ soft foods .I just had some egg could only eat about half of the scrambled egg ..but just the flavor in my mouth was so awesome .

I was sleeved on 8/4/15 and I am very happy I did it, but having a few issues.

One week out I can only keep down Water. I have a problem with crushing pills. I was taking kiddie Tylenol for pain, it's extra sweet and thick and I can't believe that kids take this (I stopped taking it).

I have "spit up" or " vomited" a total of 3 times in one week on things other than Water.

And I have intense diarrhea (sorry TMI)

So... I called my doc and his office is all cool like everything is ok that's normal...

I am sorta confused...

I am going for my one week check up today and I will give him an earful.

      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!
