Thanks for your concern, they say the 1st few weeks are the hardest & I'm really finding that to be true... The Dr will come tomorrow I make sure to get answers for everything - my side shouldn't still be hurting like this - when I make certain movements, such as sit up, get in or out of bed, bend forward to a certain angle & etc it feels like the worse sharp pain like a knife is hitting my ribs, that whole area of that incicons is hurting - more around the incision & instead of it subsiding it has just stayed constant w/ the pain... And how when I can drink w/ out lumps & heaviness down my throat... Keep the prayers come'n - you guys are great... Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newgrandmother 725 Posted September 20, 2012 ready ask them whats taking so long damn. you are hurting they should of told you the test results. why do you have to wait till tomorrow grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i think you are ok its just the incision maybe it got infected or something and you will get antibiotics and will be just fine. sleep tight chat with you tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready4change77 88 Posted September 20, 2012 Trust me - I'm feeling the same way -I mean I feel like I could be home - all those IV attempts only to have some morphine put in but not hooked up to the IV for dehydrating me - I mean I'm somewhat irritated - I mean none of the issues I had are being addressed. I called & left a message for the nurse so she will get it 1st thing in the morning @ my Dr office w/ my concerns... No one has said what the result of the scan was or my blood work - I'm like really I been to this hosptial for other things & have been fine but this is ridiculous... Well about to try to get some rest - let you know tomorrow what happens... Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wantmyhealthback 1 Posted September 20, 2012 I had my surgery on Monday the 17th. Very large hiatal hernia repaired and sleeve completed. I came home today. Anyone else get really cold especially when your bladder is ready to produce? I did this in the hospital too. Wakes me up shivering. My temp is fine, no fever. Had no problems in hospital, but didn't produce a lot. Now that I am home it is every hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForMyfamily 84 Posted September 20, 2012 Dang, how can you graduate before getting out the hospital? It just depends on the Doctor and how you did with the surgery. I was released from the hospital on pureed foods. I've been having the same cramping in my calves when I walk. Don't know why though We are using muscles that have been dormant or are building muscle instead of storing fat now. This in turn produces lactic acid in the muscles and causes cramps. Many and I mean many years ago when I was a runner. In the evening after runs or in the middle of the night this would hit my legs with cramps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BellaRoma713 46 Posted September 20, 2012 Best wishes to all the September 20 sleevers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! My surgery is today at noon. Today is the last day of summer and I am so ready for the seasons to change. 1 FeeIsMe2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakat 25 Posted September 20, 2012 September 24th is right around the corner getting a little anixious right. I am doing OK on the pre-op diet, a few little bumps and slips, but got right back on. I do miss eating real food. I have lost 19 lbs since the start, but I can't figure out how to get my ticker to move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
