MyGoodThang 9 Posted February 7, 2013 I was scheduled for Feb 5th but it was postponed due to a hernia found during my egd. I'm going for a second egd with bravo on the 12th and surgery on the 19th. I'm excited i became discouraged and cheated a little. i lost 10 lbs during my pre-op diet i started again today. hopefully I'll lose an additional 10.

crossmy_h3art 17 Posted February 7, 2013 I was sleeved today 2/6 too! Quite a bit of trial and error to get me to a comfy place (they had to double my dose of pain meds and increase the frequency to every 2 hours). I don't really have any gas pains though so that's cool. One weird problem I'm having though is my throat is swollen?! Didn't expect that. They may bring in an ENT doc to take a look tomorrow. I've been assured they won't try and take out my tonsils right now but I'm still a little worried. All in all I feel pretty good for someone who just got their stomach chopped off haha (: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All in all I feel pretty good for someone who just got their stomach chopped off haha (: Me too they have me on morphine and I can press the release every ten mins but I feel fantastic I have been waking fifteen to twenty minutes every hour and the staff is amazing! I am actually gonna send theses ladies something! You are so lucky no gas it hurt my back and made it hard to breathe it was so bad.... Well make sure you post so we can see what tomorrow brings you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crossmy_h3art 17 Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah for some reason I'm getting my dilaudid through shots in the arm. I would SO rather have a pump to control myself. I have to call the nurse in every 2 hours or so for my next dose so sleep is pretty much nonexistent lol. I fall asleep for an hour and then wake up realizing my tummy is about hurt. Atleast it's working though. I'm sad bc they just took away my ice chips until I do the upper gi leak test tomorrow. Do you have those mouthwash foam lollipop thingys too?

But the pump every 10 mins is hard to sleep too because you have to stay on top of the pain...if you fall asleep it takes forever to get back on top of it!

pammycakes 114 Posted February 7, 2013 Ok.....so stupid question.... when you guys talk about gas pains do you mean you burp to relieve the pain or the other end? This makes me nervous!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crossmy_h3art 17 Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah, for laparoscopic surgeries they kinda pump your belly up with gas so they can see what they're doing and after surgery some is trapped in there. It can def hurt, so to relieve it you have to walk, fart, burp, or use a heating pad. My nurses keep asking me if I've farted or burped yet LOL it's so strange to hear that so frequently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
