Hi Surgery Buddy! Keep drinking- you need to stay hydrated- you'll feel better. Try other fluids. Power Ade zero, sf popsicles were my go-to for a few days. Also hot tea. Hang in there.

Hi all. Just had my bypass on Monday morning 10/17. Home now. Really bloated. Walking as much as I can. How are my October buddies doing

Hey there, I had my surgery on Tuesday, October 18th and I'm doing pretty darn well. I came home on Thursday and I've been out for two or three walks daily. My only concern is that I'm retaining a bunch of Fluid. I know this because my weight went up and not down. That was a bit discouraging.

I hope all of your October surgeries went great.

Glad you are doing well @@mfoxworthy ! Drink more fluids. If you are constipated or getting your period - you'll retain.

I was sleeping on my side the night of surgery and on my stomach by day 5. My stomach does not hurt at all though. I bought a body pillow to prop myself on my side but haven't needed it.

Yeah I've been on my stomach since about 1 week post op. Have reverted back to propped up on my back due to acid reflux though.

I'm one week out and I still can't lay on my side. I am not getting good sleep at all. I cannot wait until I can sleep like normal again!

I've been sleeping on my side since the night of surgery. I have very little pain or even soreness in my abdomen. It's unusual but I'm not complaining - I sleep for 10 hours a night. Hope you can sleep better soon!

I am envious, KristenLe! I just need to be patient. It'll come. Everything else is going so well Just wish I could sleep ... and comfortably.

      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!
