Night before my surgery!! Surgery 5/16!!



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the moral support. Really nervous that my husband and I are having surgery at the same time. My dogs like to get up on my stomach and chest.:phanvan That's really the only thing I'm worried about, that we can't pick them up to get them off if they sneak up on me.

Sounds like you're feeling pretty good. That's great. :clap2: :clap2:

klopout1,

Thanks for asking about me. I had my surgery yesterday, everything went smoothly. I was even kind of worried as to why I felt so great after surgery, msybe all the meds they gave me in the hospital?? Today I am a little tender around the incisions, but no neausa, no gas pains.

Sending my best to all who go next!!

Thanks Jackie,

Your day is approaching fast! I hope you feel as good as I do. I haven't had much pain at all, only if I push myself too hard.

I hope I do too. Especially after some of the stuff I've heard about the gas pains. I'm sooo glad you're doing so well.

Hey Mal,

Good to hear from you. It sounds like the way I felt too. I didn't have much pain until I got home and my pain meds have helped tremendously. The biggest complaint I had was my mouth being as dry as dirt. That cleared up within a few hours after surgery. I was also soooo tired, but it was a good thing.

My doctor told me that my sorest incision would be where the port is and they were right! It's tolerable but sore. The others I am hardly aware of.

Keep me posted!!

Karen

      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!
