After surgery, it is common to experience some pain. I experienced little pain but mostly tenderness. When I tried to get up out of my waterbed, it was difficult.

But pain can be a warning sign. Review your discharge instructions. My instructions indicated that the following conditions warranted contacting your physician:

Uncontrolled or increased abdomen pain

Shortness of breath or calf pain

New onset of upper back or left shoulder pain

Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and/or dizziness

So if you find the pain increasing and uncontrolled, you may want to discuss it with your surgeons office.

Hey there I had my surgery on the same day as you. My pain is getting better and better. This might be too much info but I found when I need to urinate I sit down which helps to release gas in my bowls. This has helped me A LOT! Also getting someone to tap your back as you walk like burping a baby really helps too!

It took me two weeks. Everyone's healing process is different though. It may have taken me 2 weeks but it may be a little sooner or something for 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!
