Sorry to hear you are suffering with this. I am not an expert but I assume its gas, are you walking lots? Walking helps get rid of the gas.

If its not the gas but from the actual surgery itself, were you not given pain killers?

Thank you so much for reply. I got home late and haven’t gotten my prescription from the pharmacy. My husband just went to pick them up. Soon I get it I will get dressed and go walk.

Walk a lot - gas pain is brutal.

Peppermint Decaf tea and massaging stomach and back helps too.

For me cold Water hurt my chest so the tea helps there too

Feel better!

󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" userid="342591"]Goodmorning I had my sleeve done June 29th. I am home now but the pain is so unbearable sometimes i feel I want to cry and scream. Anyone else have pain like that ? Or is something wrong?
It sounds like gas. If you walk it should get better.

I definitely didn't have pain like yours, but I found ice packs across my incisions and abdomen to help A LOT in the first week

I had pretty bad pain, I cried and yelped when I got in and out of bed or when I got up off the couch, which I couldn't sit on because i was uncomfortable for so long. In reality it was just a few days, but I walked a lot and it wasn't just gas. It got better, I stopped taking the meds and kept shuffling around. The first few days were rough for me though.

      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!
