Update!!!!!!

Surgery went well I had a hiatal hernia repaired which I'm not surprised about because of the work that I do..I went into surgery around 8:30am and was in my room round 11ish. My mom and sister went with and the rest of the family came later on..my ex boyfriend even came to see me which I thought was sweet. I was having alot of soreness yesterday. But I got up several times to use the bathroom and go for a walk. I slept last night for a few hours but woke up this morning at 5am to pain in the belly button incision. The doctor changed my dressing and gave me some more Dilaudid :-)..so I'm just updating everyone now. I have to do my barium swallow test at 9am and if that goes well I can go home as soon as my parents get off work :-)

Don't be surprised if you have some pain after you get home in your chest area. Having the hernia repaired adds some pain. I had this done and my doctor told me I would experience a little more pain. Nothing to major! So happy you are on your way to a new you.

Good Luck.

I feel okay. I'm pretty sore when I get up or sit down. It doesn't hurt to bad as long as I sit still. I have zero appetite. I do feel pretty exhausted though. I have taken one pain pill since noon yesterday. As soon as I get this Protein shake down I am taking another one and hopefully take a nap. :)

Thanks for ur input makes us the pre-banders excited and can't wait!

I think the only thing I'm afraid is hair loss, and going to the OR before going to sleep! (yikes)
