What did everyone do to assist with the pain where the actual stomach came out and the internal stitch is? I can't even stand or have clothes touch it without hurting

I am 3 weeks post op , I was using a pillow pressed against my abdomen to get out of bed for the first 10 days ... it helped ... I didn't have a problem with clothes touching the area ... hope you improve quickly

Is it internal and does it feel like a blow torch is going off inside you for a few seconds?

It's more constant. Saw Surgeon today he said he isn't worried at all, even though I told him the pain was terrible

My surgery was on March 1st. That is the only pain that I am experiencing. It is the worst! It hurts to turn over in bed, sir, stand, cough, sneeze and laugh. I hope it subsides soon.

Hi , I don't know if you saw my earlier post on this subject but I will repeat it because these simple things will help .

it will be easier for you to turn over in bed , cough, sneeze or even stand up if you gently press a bed pillow to your right side (incision site) when you either roll over or try to get up ! This is done by women who have had c-sections, by anyone who has had abdominal surgery .. the other fix is to apply a heating pad to the area every few hours...

pain should subside 7-14 days after surgery, depending on individual pain threshold..

hope you feel better !

I'm having the exact same pain
My surgeon said it's really common. It feels like there's a knife in there constantly but if I walk it feel like someone is trusting the knife. And burns. I'm comfortable if I'm sitting leaned back with my legs up. That's it. I've been couch bound for 4 days [emoji30] I'm 12 days post op and I'm dying to go back to work!! So bored at home

That pain was truly excruciating. Dr. gave me 3 local injections right into the area yesterday in the office and it relieved most of the stabbing pain. Hoping it lasts awhile.

      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!
