Recommended Posts

I had hiatal hernia repair on top of being banded this past tuesday. Well the last 2 days one of my incisions burns 4 about 15 mins (It brings tears 2 my eyes) and I have been having a wonderful recovery and a pain level about 3 this whole time. Any suggestions? Any on else had this pain?

I had both a hiatal hernia and a ventral hernia repaired during my surgery, and I experienced nothing like what you describe. Have you called your surgeon and asked about that?

Do you have any other symptoms like swelling or redness? Is the incision warm/hot to the touch? I would definitely call my doctor.

My incision where the port is gave me a burning sensation at times. It never lasted 15 minutes, but it happened more than once. I assumed it was probably nerves healing since I had no swelling or other signs of infection and it went away after a little bit. However, I still recommend calling your surgeon just to be on the safe side, especially since you had a hernia repair along with the band placement.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
