Post Op w/surgery 8/17.

[tamlynnmill 1]

Hi all! This is my 5th day post op and have overall been doing better than I anticipated. I have been having a lot of "gurgling " like feeling in what I assume is my stomach and I have had some pain from what feels more like where they repaired a hiatal hernia. Stayed 2 nights in hospital because my new stomach was slow to drain from the esophagus . I think what I am feeling is mostly spasms....but did any of the rest of you have the nausea and discomfort more from the hiatal hernia then the stomach?

In a way, yes. I felt like it was kinda hard to breathe when I first woke up from surgery. But I think it was a gas bubble that was trapped. Also, it hurts my esophagus more when I eat than it does my stomach.

I had my surgery on 8/15 and had a hiatal hernia repair as well. I had the exact same gurgly feeling every time I drank something. I didn't have nausea, but I did have the discomfort, almost like I could feel the liquid going down my esophagus and into my stomach, and it would be a few seconds of discomfort, like a cramp or spasm, and then it would subside. But it was with every swallow of liquid. I was worried something was wrong, but now, a week post surgery, it has mostly subsided. Every now and then I get the discomfort, but for the most part it's gone away. My guess it is was just because my stomach was healing.

I had the same feeling as if my stomach was talking to me every time I ate or drunk something but after week 3 the feeling was gone. I had a hernia repair.

I had my surgery 8/18 and had a hernia repair, too that I didn't know about. I feel sloshy and tho I'm not having trouble getting liquids down, the rumbling and gurgling of liquids in my belly feels odd.

I had surgery 8/17. I had an impacted rectum from the codeine and had one hospital visit but now I seem to be good. It was all worth it.

I had my surgery 8/8 and also had a large hiatal hernia repaired. I would say the gurgling is probably from the gasses used in surgery to enlarge your stomach for the operation.
