The surgery went fine but how I feel after the surgery is not so fine. A lot of pain and nausea.

Glad all went well @@pik! Hang in there, the next several days are rough, but once you turn that corner, it'll be well worth it! Rest rest rest (and walk!)

Pick,

Did the doc give you anything for nausea?

My surgery is Monday and I am worried about the nausea.

I asked for the nausea patch before surgery. Not sure it helped much because I'm typically sick until the anesthesia gets out of my system. But it may help someone else.

They gave many different things for both pain and nausea and most of didn't even touch my problems.

There was a girl in a bed beside me who was asking for delaudid all day and night long and she got it. The last time I asked for something for both things through the night (and it was 2 hours past the time) the nurse told me he wanted me to cycle through the pain and nausea.

I also gained over ten pounds with the surgery with all of the fluids they packed into me. Right now when I go to the bathroom or walk a little I get chest pain.... This surgery for me suck. I will be glad once all of these bad days are behind me.

This doesn't happen to everyone, I have read, but I am one of the lucky ones!

      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!
