Surgery in the morning



Recommended Posts

Well I'm choking down the last of this stomach/intestine cleanse that the surgeon prescribed to me. Btw it's so gross! Surgery is at 9 am and I'm so nervous. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Wish me well!

Thank you all. I'm a bit upset tho. For reasons that were not explained to me, my surgeon did the RNY open instead of laparoscopically and I was discharged after only one night. I'm in extreme pain, I can't drink fluids (it causes my stomach to cramp whether it be hot or cold liquids) I have not used the restroom and I keep vomiting (they say it's from the morphine) I'm very unhappy. I took a pic of one of my scars and sent it to my dad and he called my surgeon a butcher and wants to sue. Any thoughts?

Wow. I am so sorry for what you are going through. Did your dr. Visit you post surgery? We're you given the opportunity to ask why? You need to call ASAP and find out why but more importantly should you go back to the hospital.

I am a week post op and feel so bad for what you r dealing with.

sounds very strange that you had open RNY and were sent home after one day. I would definitely call the surgeon to tell him you're in extreme pain. make sure you keep a record of all phone calls you make so you can have documentation of what happened.

      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!
