I'm officially on the losers bench!!!

After almost a full year I had my rebirth day yesterday that being said, how long did your gas pains bother you? Pain is minimal and even then it's just the gas.

Blah!

My surgery was over 3 1/2 years ago and that is a long time to remember but I think I experienced gas pains for the first few days and it was primarily over with after about a week. Walking, walking, walking helps dramatically with this problem.

But be forewarned, after surgery, I found that I would fart more frequently. And there was a short period of time when the saying "Never trust a fart" applies. Fortunately this period of time is very short. So exercise caution. There is nothing worse than soiling yourself when you are out and about in public.

Congratulations on your surgery.

Hi, after surgery almost 2 years ago I have turned into a "Lean Mean Fartin Machine!" The gas pains I had were horrible. Gas X gave me some relief, but they were still loud & smelly. I caught my cat giving me dirty looks! Lol, All you can do is treat it the best you can & most importantly, you have to have a good sense of humor & laugh at yourself! I have never regretted having the RNY! Good Luck To You!

      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!
