No I havent cuz its saturday. I figured wait until monday. Don't wanna be without pain meds. Just started taking benadryl with it now. But this pain gets better right?

The pain does get better. perhaps you could call your pharmacy to discuss the reaction you are having. The paper you received with your meds should have mentioned the side affects. Itching sounds like its one. The pharmacists could suggest an alternative medication.

I so hope you feel better.

I had my surgery yesterday and did great but when I got back to my room my heart rate jumped to 150 and my blood pressure dropped to 90/60 they increased my liquids but it didn't help much so I was sent to surgery again! I had two leaks from what I hear and they were taken care of. Passed the swallow test earlier now I am waiting for the doctor to let me start drinking Water.< /div>

Glad to hear they were swift to find what was wrong and fix it quickly.

Anyone having bad diarrhea. Sorry that's gross. I've had it 5 times in the past hour or two and I'm worried bc I am not drinking enough to keep up with that volume. I don't know what to do.

Hello Elaine,

Four days after my surgery, my body seemed to want to purge everything that had been put into me while in the hospital. It required me to remain very close to home. When it finally subsided, my stomach seemed to have shrunk from all the extra fluids and I felt so much better overall.

Hang in there!

Thank you me as we'll. my surgeon just came to check me and he told me that I had been bleeding internally and I had to have two blood infusions but he could not locate where I was bleeding. The hospital staff has been great and I being closely watched and feeling so much better.

Thanks Nelliebean. I feel better bc I am exactly 4 days out! I did have to drink a lot of nastiness at the hospital. My body is probably trying to get rid of blue dye and iodine.

Hey guys can i have G2 to drink? It has 7 carbs in it

Is it zero calorie? My nut said less than 30 cals a serving less than 20 carbs for regular drinks and soups... So if the cals are in line i say go for it. Jist remember one serving is small. A whole bottle might be 150 cals.

      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.

        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!
