I made it through surgery!! My surgery was scheduled for 1:00, everything went great. I do have some pain around my incisions but other than that I feel good. I did laps around the floor I was on once I was able to get up. I am feeling good - all in all. I will say I have had 2 c sections & my gallbladder out & I feel better right now than I did with either of these. Now the fun part begins! :)

Congrats!

It's good to hear about the painless surgeries as my time approaches.

Was there a lot of sitting around boring time or did they shoot you up and drag you off to surgery immediately then wake you up and send you on your way?

No I didn't have to be at the hospital until 11:00 (surgury was schedule for 1:00). I was called right back once I got there. There was about a 30 minute delay with surgery but my husband got to stay with me through that time. My doctor came out & said the person on front of me was hard to put to sleep so that put them behind. All & all it was very smooth. I left the hospital at 6:00. So I was there 7 hours.

      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'. ???

        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!
