Lila,

"If you had to, would you have been able to work 3 days after surgery ?"

I can't imagine going to work tomorrow...I'm up and around a bit today, but still needed a good two hour nap. Very hard to get sleep at night when you can hardly move.

I had booked 5 days off, and then was worried that wouldn't be enough time, they rest of the week I have to call in on whether I'll be in or not but I don't have to. Luckily, my boss has health issues and is always calling in sick...so he can't really complain.

If you are just sitting at your job, you might be okay...bring your pain meds and make sure you have a pillow to press against your stomach incase you need to cough or sneeze. I had a couple cough attacks...no fun.

Maybe, you could just call in sick on the monday...one day makes a big difference. And you'll need your rest.:notagree

Congratulations, Swanny, you, like me, are a September bandster. I was banded two Thursdays ago so the memory is pretty fresh. I spent Friday, Saturday, and much of Sunday in bed and I slept a lot. By Monday the only real pain issues I was having was with gas. I certainly didn't need the demerol though I took it at night to help me get to sleep and I still had to sleep on my back. I was able to walk around, goof on the computer, have a bath, and do a little bit of laundry. I felt pretty good but I tired easily. From that Monday life just got better and better! Then you get to eat Soups and that is a total rush! I hope hearing my experiences helps you a bit.

      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.

        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!
