Hello everyone

I am Isabella

I just had surgery this last Thursday and it wasn't what I was expecting. No one told me about the pain every told me its painless.

I had the worst experience in the hospital . A lot of throwing up and throwing up blood. My stomach was in the worst pain. Now it's been a week I feel much better I can finally hold food down but I haven't been able to have a bowl movement.

Which is driving me crazy.

I am excited to in this community . post-260986-14399437581981_thumb.jpg

I didn't have the same experience as you. I never threw up and especially not blood. I have minimal pain from the incisions. The most uncomfortable I was, came from laying down snd turning over from side to side. I solved that issue with a small pillow I would hold against my stomach when I turned over. I had been told it would be painful and I expected the worse! I'm sorry you had such a difficult time. I'm also glad it is getting better for you!

That's horrible, did they tell you why you were throwing up blood? where did you get your surgery done?

Welcome. I had some pain, but it was very manageable. What does doctor say? Are you taking stool softeners?

Not everyone is the same so that is unfortunate that you ended up in a lot of pain. Glad you are doing better now! stool softeners are your friend!

I had a ton of nausea. Actually I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because of it. I had my sleeve surgery last Wednesday and was discharged on Friday.

Everyone's surgery is different. DH had the surgery a month before I did and he has the sleeve of a steel and I don't. Two days following being discharged form the hospital I was admitted to the ER for dehydration (and extremely painful migraines). My recovery time has been different from his. I was in a fair amount of pain for the first week, plus dizziness. He can eat most things with no problem, I eat something and it comes back up.

I think the main thing is to focus on you. Your body is different than the next persons. The gas pains will go away. Keep walking, keep drinking, eat small bites...A month from now things will start being "normal". You just have to get through the first two weeks. I found the first week to obviously be the worst, and then by the second week I started to have energy again. Just focus on why you had the surgery and what you hope to obtain with your new tool.

      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!
