destiny20156 4 Posted December 5, 2012 Hey everyone my surgery is dine. It was tough. They found a hiatal hernia when they went in and repaired it. Was under fir about 3 hours. Woke up with no pain meds that sucked. Nobody could find the order. But once i got them its been ok. Lots of gas pain right at the bottom of my breat bone. The WORST part is here they make u stay overnight and nothing by mouth until they get an xray tkmorrow. Jo Water no ice chips nothing. My throat is so dry it hurts! But tomorrow will b better and on the road to recovery good luck everyone! 1 Banjo257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newtoband2013 3 Posted December 5, 2012 Well, tomorrow is my day! I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. They said I am the first surgery, which I guess is good. I am nervous but I know I'll be fine. Can't wait to be on the other side of this! Good luck to everyone who's having surgery this month! 2 kazjim98 and LadyLeigh2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike65 47 Posted December 5, 2012 My surgery is in the morning I'm on my second day of Pre op and I'm really hating this diet... It just has to get better! I am starting week 3 of the diet. Honestly, it hasn't been easy. I have cravings for things that I didn't used to eat much of, like Peanut Butter and I am dying for a piece of toast. When the cravings hit, I try to wash them away with Crystal Light lemonade. Try to stay strong. 2 LadyLeigh2012 and Banjo257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadyLeigh2012 76 Posted December 5, 2012 Down 13 pounds on pre-op! Less than 2 weeks to go! The Protein Shakes from the doc are pretty good, but a bit on the thick side. I had to attend a pre-op class yesterday and they talked all about preventing blood clots. Did anyone else got this? 1 Banjo257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
