I just started getting occasional pain right near my belly button, like a sharp pinchy feeling. It's tolerable but hurts some. I'm almost 3 weeks as well.

Don’t ignore that, I also had it and ended up in the emergency room where they put me out to pop a hernia back into place because it was obstructing my intestine, so I went to my Bariatric Dr because emergency room couldn’t do anything else, and I needed emergency surgery on that hernia so I wouldn’t be put on a colostomy bag...so keep the pain minimal, if it gets worse call you dr ASAP I hope that helped

I talked to my Dr today and told them that its soar all around my bell button even to the touch. Also that one of the scab starts healing then it falls off and it is green underneath . The Dr they said to keep an eye on scab that wont heal and if I get a fever to let them right away. Going to move up my follow up appointment.

Off to the Dr. today. Stomach pain is getting worse and one of my scar from a different surgery looks black. So will see what's going on. I had a CT Scan done and it showed a small kidney stone, ventral fat-containing incisional hernia and chronic hematomas. Any one else have this happen to them?

I'm so happy everything is fine. I'm a slow healer. The Fat hernia and chronic hematomas is nothing to worry about. He recommend cortisone cream for my stomach.

      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!
