Good to know I'm not the only one feeling like this. Less than four hours before I head out the door to the hospital. I think we'll both do great.

Ya it was very painful initially, but the staff are nice here. I realized I can't drink anything cold. Because my stomach cramps like death. Otherwise I'm doing ok. They said I needed insulin and now u might be anemic. Both of which I never had before surgery

Brings back some memories. I recall being very concerned as the reality of major surgery and I came face to face. That was 6 months ago. I am down 102 pounds, no longer taking metformin and my doctor is now telling me to quit taking the amlodipene because my blood pressure readings are dropping enough to justify it. I can wear pants that you can buy off the shelf in generally available sizes. It's daunting, but was it ever the best investment I ever made.

They gave me a couple of injections post op that kept me in Shangri La for about 12 hours but I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours and that was with the gastric bypass.

      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.

        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!
