Gretchen,

Surgery went well! I was home by 2:30 that afternoon. Turns out I did have a hiatal hernia and the doctor repaired it! yeah! Hopefully, no more reflux. The gas pains are pretty bad...my left shoulder has been the worst! I have a pain pump and liquid Lortab. I have been using GasX and a heating pad for the gas...its about all that helps. I had alot of pain last night because I let too much time pass between pain meds. Won't make that mistake again. Haven't been hungry at all. Been on clear liquids until this evening, had a protein shake and felt icky for about an hour afterwards.
