I was sleeved on November 9 and they also fixed a hiatal hernia. I have been in quite a bit of pain and the nausea on the second day made me want to lay down and die! Home today and feeling better but still in lots of pain and very overwhelmed by all the medications and having to drink one or two ounces every 15 minutes. Hopefully I will get used to it soon.

Hi Mrs. Burn -

I had my surgery on the 7th and I feel just like you do. I am feeling better every day, but WOW is all I can say. By any chance do your wrist hurt? My teeth even hurt. I ended up back in the hospital yesterday because I was dehydrated. Big bummer because I had to have another IV.

I really hope we can talk and help one another through this journey.

Tons of smiles your way!

I wad sleeved the 9th and had horrible nausea the second day from the dilauded. Once I switched to Tylenol 3, I started feeling better and I got to come home late yesterday afternoon. I'm not experiencing too much pain other that the incision where my drain was. I'm also having a difficult time getting comfortable enough to sleep any longer than 2 hours at a time. I absolutely HATE the Isopure but I'm choking it down and then sipping on warm broth (which is sooo good). I have noticed that the more I walk and move around, the better I feel!! So walk, walk walk!!!

Hoping we all recover soon!!!

:)

I had my sleeve on Nov. 7th and came home on the 9th and I must be extremely lucky because I feel really terrific!! The first day in the hospital I had some pain, but only took pain medication twice and have had none since. I am making my own Protein Shakes and having one (16 oz apprx.) per day and about 20 oz of Water per day. I'm sleeping fully through the night and just have a bit of soreness. I consider myself very lucky. Must have had a terrific surgeon!!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
