Who's having surgery in march



Recommended Posts

I had mine 3/6. For the most part I feel great. I had a bit of gas that the gas x strips helped tremendously. My main issue now is a terrible burning sensation in my muscles on my left side when I stand, sit and walk. If I lay down or recline it completely goes away. I've lost 18 pounds since morning of surgery! Excited to see my progress as time goes on!!

Had mine on the 7th. Came home yesterday, gas pains are really bad!!!!



Walk walk walk, first day is really bad, you will feel better every day. My second day they gave me chewable gas pills, worked like a charm, but walking helps your gas tl go away. By the third day, you will feel great. Good luck

Surgery buddy! I have the same day and same pain! I tried to go to work this morning but I got so nauseous and the pain on my left side is like daggers. When do you go back to work? I've lost 9 since morning of surgery!

Had sleeve surgery on March 9th so am about 3 days out. I'm still in pain but I walk hourly,to help ease the gas pains, sip,sip, sip so as not to be dehydrated.

I'm here for support for any who wants it. Good luck to all

My left side hurt terribly but walking helps a lot. We can't move too fast. We are newbies. I'm trying to figure out drinking and eating enough hello. My favorite chicken noodle broth taste blah to me now I'm going to drink Protein Drinks I got from metabolic weight loss. Its like crystal lite but Protein. U can now buy from them without a membership. They got some in store called lift waters they are nasty. Do anyone live in shreveport la.

6 days until surgery, and I have a cold. Scared they'll say we'll have to postpone if I don't get well enough.

      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!
