Feeling worse

Had hiatal surgery and a TIF surgery on March 5, so im well over 2 months post surgery. Gas pains are worse than any reflux pain i had. Im actually beginning to regret the surgery now as I'm afraid my summer is ruined due to not being able to enjoy things like cookouts, concerts, and other activities without my stomach hurting like crazy. Not to mention the fact that neither of my surgeons mentioned anything about the no carbonation thing, Im a beer lover and now im starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to enjoy a brew with my buddies again since it seems my ability to burp was eliminated.

My understanding was that this surgery was supposed to allow me to live a normal life, so far I'm thinking that a lot of what I used to enjoy is gone, which is the opposite of a normal life. Anyway, hoping someone can reassure me that this wasn't a mistake.
