2 night hospital stay



Recommended Posts

What about accommodations the 2-day hospital stay for family/friend member ? Do they provide a place where they can sleep? Any feed back would be helpful. Thanks - Karen

Hi Karen,

I believe it depends on the hospital. I had surgery at florence Hospital and there was a little built in daybed sort of thing that my travel companion slept on.

Hello fellow sleeve friends,

I have crossed over to the sleeve side and am feeling great. What a surprise, I am one of the lucky ones who is in little pain mainly from the gas of the surgery. Mi Doctor was a lovely experience and Dr. Valenzuela did my surgery. My incisions are very small and she fixed a hernia I did not know I had. She is very soft spoken and has an excellent group of doctors with her.

I am at the hotel in TJ just resting and getting ready to go home Sat. I only have good words for MBC and Cindy was our coordinator in the states and Daniel was our coordinator in TJ. Very pleased and relieved. Any questions I will try to help. Thanks to all those who sent good wishes and prayers.

God is good.

      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!
