I’m sleeved S well and in my own private room. I feel absolutely great, except I keep dozing off every 20 minutes or so. I have slight irratation at the top of my rib cage which I’m guessing is the gas. Haven’t been cleared to walk yet but I believe we will be soon.


That irritation is so real! I think burping helped. Walking helped a ton too! And I feel like I'm sleeping in 15 minute increments. 😴

Small update. At first gas main was dull annoyance but ever since last night it became sharp pains under my boobs. Since the pain is so intense I’ve been getting morphine every 3 hoursX . I’ll have to stay at the hospital if the intense pain doesn’t stop

I’m soo sorry to hear that! Have you spoken to your surgeon?! What have they advised you to do? I’m surprised they sent you home in that condition

I'm sorry for those in pain, it sucks!! I had a revision from vbg to rny gastric bypass, gallbladder removed and hiatal hernia repaired! It was a little much, but I was able to start walking 4 hours afterwards.

Gasx has been a Godsend! I'm taking it religiously to help with gas pain, I think it really is.

We made it guys, still can't believe it myself, but we made it!!!

Congratulations and prayers for speedy recovery to all!

      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!
