The journey of my life



Recommended Posts

My name is Amy and I had my surgery on October.24th,2016. It has been quiet a week. My surgery went well, but the medical gas that they filled my stomach with settled in the back of my neck and head and right after surgery,that was the pain that I felt. I have had some stomach pain but nothing compared to pain in my neck. I have done well with my walking since surgery. My weight since 2 weeks before surgery has gone from 243 to 219. My clothes feel better. Still trying to walk the gas out. I am having to get neck massages for my neck. So ready to see what the next couple of weeks has to hold.

Had surgery same day, my gas stayed in stomach region, getting better now. Amazing how much gas. I think they use gas to create space to operate, not just to test sutures in stomach. I hope you neck feels better quick. Finished 2 Protein shakes yesterday. Plus good amount of Water

Expect a stall with your weight loss in the next couple weeks, but don't freak out when it happens. It's normal, and your body is just taking a break from your awesome losses you've had. You should start feeling better as each day goes by and you get that trapped gas out. Glad things are going so well for you otherwise!

I am having trouble doing my profile? Do I have to pay to do this?

No but there's sometimes problems doing it. Keep trying.
I had to use my laptop to do mine.

      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.

      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!
