Mstdst13 23 Posted December 5, 2014 I had my surgery on Dec 3. I had a large hiatal hernia repair as well as sleeve. I also had a lot of nausea in the hospital. I was released yesterday and had such a hard time sleeping and bad shoulder pain. Doing a bit better today, got some nausea meds for at home so I am more comfortable since I feel better taking my pain pills. Also really working in my fluids but harder than I thought. My question is to those that had hiatal hernia surgery as well did you feel like you had more pain than you thought? Mine was a fairly large size hernia. I am so glad to have it repaired! I am also walking a lot too. This is such a supportive board! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slya3817 0 Posted December 5, 2014 I just had my surgery on the 3rd too. Also had a hiatal hernia repaired. Left shoulder pain has been almost unbearable for three days now. I've been walking around the block three times a day and doing small arm circles while walking. I think it's helping because the pain seems to be getting better. Only taking my pain meds at night just to make sure I sleep good. Good luck in your weight loss journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babe58 24 Posted December 7, 2014 I had thane shoulder pain when I had my lapband seven years ago. Rocking in my rocking chair really helped. Of course put a pillow across the tummy when you do it. That really helped. My sisters a nurse and had the same pain with her bypass ( the same day( she came up with that idea. We also walked around the block .
