Surgery Is Tomorrow Morning! :) :) :) :)



Recommended Posts

They did not need to take out the monitor said it should slide through so I will deal with that when the time comes. Home already thank GOD since everytime I tried to sleep last night somebody came in the room to do this and that so happy to be in my own bed. Pain isn't too bad at all feels like I did 3000 sit ups and my muscles ache that's about it. So far I haven't felt pain in my stomach from the staples like I read other people had so I am very thankful about that. I don't have a drain so I can use one of those belly binders to kindof hold everything in and it's working wonders I can get around much easier with it on.

I am having surgery in 22 days and am getting my stuff together

What kind of binder do you use? Where did you get it? Did you wear at hospital or just at home? Thanks!!!

Same questions for me. I have surgery one week from today.

The nurses at the hospital gave it to me as I was leaving the hospital. It wraps around my abdomen and secures with Velcro. It goes from just under my belly button to the band on my bra. I am sure you could ind one at a pharmacy or medical supply store. I think they might be around $30? It really helped while sleeping and getting up from lying down or form a seated position.

      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'. ???

        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!
