How long did your stomach pain last? I'm 8 days out and would like to know how long your pain lasted.

Took a pain pill and slept in a reclining sofa. That helped a LOT. Seems the tossing and turning in bed was aggravating things.

Today is day 8 for me and I am still pretty tender, but I expected as much. Whats really annoying to me is the slight numbness. It itches and feels funny when my shirt touches it.

I don't have the numbness at the incision site, but maybe a little itchyness. But I think that's fine and just b/c we're healing. My pain was the stomach itself. It was cramping, especially when I ate cold foods. Seems to be doing better today. After further research, it is pretty common. Be thankful if you don't have it. I had not slept the entire night until 2 nights ago. But, guess it's part of the process for some people. Hope you all are doing better each day. Wishing you all much success!

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
