What An Emotional Roller Coaster



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on may 17th, home Monday the 21st, at the hospital that night with high fever. Ended up being infection of incision. Surgery tues to clean infection, home thurs night. This has been one heck of a ride. Still have fever just taking meds as I should and praying this is gone entirely with no relapse! For those considering this surgery go for it just prepare for complications. I've cried daily at the stress I've caused my family. I feel guilty that i can't do anything much to help while I watch my fiancé stress and get overwhelmed! Ugh bright side I've lost 15 lbs.

I too can completely understand your feelings... had issues with hemmoraging, eating,vomiting etc...4 weeks out and I am just seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...eating/drinking is getting easier, able to help around the house and best of all I am seeing results in the mirror...I wore size 16 jeans yesterday that had hung in my closet with the tags unworn for 4 years when my dear husband ordered me a pair I used to love...they weren't even tight!!

I cried in the bathroom and it reminded me...above all these wonderful things most important is I am getting healthier and will be here longer for my family..Lord willing.

Hugs to you dearest...you will start seeing little momenteous results here and there! Keep the Faith! x

I'm so sorry about the complications you are having. I have had complications post-op on other surgeries and I'm praying this time I won't, but I realize it's a possibility. My family also realizes I have had serious complications in the past.

I will say some prayers your fever breaks and you will start feeling better soon.

      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.

      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!
