So Im Home From The Hospital...without My Rny! :(



Recommended Posts

My day was yesterday...I was to go in at 6 am for a 8 am surgery...around 4:30 or so, i started feeling really dizzy, nauseous and extremely faint. I thought that it was just a mixture of my nerves, hunger and anemia (which I have had for a while and my current menstrual status wasn't helping.) So I just had my babe help me get ready and waited for my cab. By the time I got to the hospital I was so bad I needed to be taken up in a wheelchair! My surgeon requested some blood work and I was so anemic that I needed a blood transfusion!!! :unsure: I spent the night at the hospital getting blood and fluids. My surgery was postponed until next week!

The waiting never ends huh?

Wow that's terrible but, you know it's good that your bloodwork was checked. Best for you to be at the correct levels on all count so you can heal properly after the surgery.

I hope you recover fast and not have to wait long for surgery. I know its the waiting part that kills me. I prefer for medical events to be over and done with. Best of luck to you

No doubt about it, the waiting sucks. But I love stories about doctors that always take a conservative approach to medicine. That tells me that you have the right doctor and you can feel confident that your surgery will be done when your body is ready. Feel better and keep your spirits up!!

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes and prayers!

I am feeling a lot better and I am on top of my Iron pills...I had blood work done today and I hope things are going in the right direction! My surgery was rescheduled for Monday which is my son's 6th birthday so I am sad to miss it but if I don't accept that date I will have to wait until next month! :( I guess I can look at it as if the surgery works the way we all expect it to work and helps me change my life it would be like I was born again and I share a birthday with my baby! :rolleyes:

I will be baking him a cake and celebrating with him on Friday...one last slice of cake before my 2 day clear liquid diet! lol

      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!
