Day 2 Post Op

So, the deed was done yesterday 7/26. After reading everyone's experiences, I have to say that it was still not what I was expecting. The procedure went smoothly but the doctor found a hiatal hernia that had to be repaired as well. So, it hurts when I take deep breaths because she had to put some stiches in my diaphram. I feel moderate pain, which is only really bad when I get up or sit down and I have been taking my pain medication as recommended. I woke up around 2am and actually heard my stomach growl, which shows that its working. Yesterday I was only allowed water but today I progress to liquids.

 

I was discharged the same day because my insurance didnt pay for overnight but I think it was better to be in my own bed.

 

Hopefully the pain will continue to subside as the days go on.

Thanks for posting I love hearing everybody's different experiences. I feel like it prepares me for things that might come up. I don't know anybody that has had this procedure, so this helps a lot! Thanks & have a speedy recovery.

Sounds like you are doing well. I tried to not use the pain medicine, but finally decided that was stupid. I used it for 5 days, which is longer than some people, but it's what I needed. I still used liquid Tylenol for a few more days after that. Give yourself time . . be sure to keep walking . . good luck!
