Looking forward...

Hi. This is my first post here. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Monday, December 5th.and was discharged home yesterday. My doctor is wonderful. He went ahead and repaired my hiatal hernia while he was in there so that I will be less likely to get my acid reflux back. Anyone else have the Hiatal Hernia repair done at the same time and how long did it take for you chest/shoulder to stop hurting? Thank you ahead of time for your responses. <a href='http://www.bariatricpal.com'><img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/tickers/292743-kjjanney/bodyweight.png?ts=1481170887' /></a>

That is great. I have not heartburn since my surgery on Monday. Just pain when swallowing and breathing deeply. Otherwise I think I am doing pretty good. Though I keep needing to go back to sleep every 1 to 2 hours. Ready for that to quit, lol. Thanks everyone. It is just nice to have a conversation with people who understand and are going through the same thing.

I hope everything goes well for you. Let us know how you are doing.

Thank you for your responses. I felt really good at the hospital and walker a lot on my own because it did help. However, the hospital pharmacy would not take my health insurance and I had to wait to get my pain medication until the next morning. I had a "moderate" sized hiatal hernia according to my doctor. I hope the pain when breathing deeply and with swallowing liquids will go away sooner rather than later. I am making myself drink the required Water and have been able to drink the 64 oz. Today I start the Protein part. Should be interesting. :}
