How do I reduce these gas pains and the pain from the incisions !!! 😩 driving me crazy

Walk as much as possible! It's the best way to get the gas moving out. The incisions just have to heal. If they bother you when moving, try using a small pillow to splint, or apply pressure, when getting up or sitting down.

Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to get up as much as possible since it’s the only thing that seems to help. Besides this is grateful that for now I can keep my fluids down without feeling sick it’s been a big help

Do the incisions hurt without movement or when you flex your abdomen in any way? If the latter, hold a pillow against yourself.

.

... As an aside, as I write this I am in a gym parking lot and on my list of weights this evening are hoist abdominal crunches at 205 lbs for 36 reps total... So don't worry, it'll go away eventually then you can look forward to post workout pains.

Sometimes for example when I’m sleeping the smallest movements even if it’s tilting a little it causes it to hurt that’s when I would take a pain med and it would relax the pain for some time but its getting better everyday that passes

      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!
