I am having a similar problem that I guess at this point is acid or gas. I got a slight unfill last week and since then I have has terrible gas pains after eating or drinking. By night time, it is so bad that I stay curled up in the fetal position to relieve it. I went to the doc about it a few months ago and he asked me to get a barium x-ray (where you drink the barium and they takes x-rays of it going down). Everything was fine. I haven't had the issue in a while since I was so tight I could barely eat anything.

I am going to try the Benefiber that others had suggested in other posts. Please let me know if anything works for you.

I had a 1.2cc unfill yesterday and since then I've been getting cramps in my side (like a side stitch after running) but Im not running or exercising to cause it.

I also have the cramping goin up my shoulder to my neck on the same left side....anyone think this is odd? Doesn't seem to be gas bc I cannot expel it and it does keep me from taking deep breaths:frown:

      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.

      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!
