Monday, 8/25 was the big day



Recommended Posts

Had my gastric sleeve on 8/25, as well as a repair of a Paraesophageal Hernia (Hiatal Hernia). Was discharged today, 8/26.

Was having pain related to the hernia repair in the hospital, but now that I am home, my abdomen is sore and painful. I know, this too shall pass.

Having so much trouble drinking this large bottle of Isopure. It's neverending. It will get better. Just have to remember that.

Hello to all.

Hello! My surgery was 8/20 and I too had a hernia repair. Almost all of my pain seems to come from the hernia repair site. Still hurts, but I know it will get better. Hang in there!

I don't think I've ever been in such pain. I had my gallbladder taken out in 2001 and there were complications. But this tops that.

I'm not a lightweight in the pain department. Trying to stay positive. It's a struggle, but the end is worth it.

I was told it would be more difficult with the hernia repair. Just trying to be strong.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
