pain in stomach



Recommended Posts

i am not sure where to post this, so if this isnt right, i apologize now.

that being said....

last weekend i was really stressed out because my dh is a complete idiot. anyways, i couldnt eat a thing, nothign solid. so for prolly 4 days i didnt. mind you, i tried a bite or two each day but wound up pb'ing or just out and out vomitting. i was throwing up so bad! i really didnt think it was possible any more, and it was different then before band vomitting, very noisy and just nasty. i was throwing up yellow foam--stomach acid. it was horrible.

ok, back on track...so now my stomach really hurts around the port. it is super tender...even my jeans being done up can make it ache. i figure i probably just pulled it from the retching, right? if i caused a slip or something like that, it would be a different pain? the port is stitched in and all the heaving and stuff prolly just pulled it and its tender? i dont know... maybe i should call the doctor. only its saturday and they arent open.... hmmm, this sucks.

If you are able to drink liquids without barfing, you are ok to wait to call the doc on Monday. I just know that after 2 months, my port site is a little sore - esp when I wear jeans. Can you feel the surface of it when you lie on your back and tense your abd muscles? My guess, too, is it would be sore from retching...Good Luck! Don't let ole DH get you down for too long!

I would definitely go back to Clear Liquids for a couple of days until your stomach/esophagus is able to settle down. It may be enflamed and irritated from the retching. Call your doctor on Monday and let them know what is going on and that you aren't able to keep anything down.

      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!
