Hiatal Hernia and wishful thinking

[tbmichals 12]

I will have a 4 hour drive home after surgery. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just stay another night.

I would definitely stay at least one night. I flew home on the 2nd day and it was tough. 2hr flight and then an hour drive home.

I had mine yesterday with Dr. Long. He is super nice. They told me I would go home the same day, but I ended up being kept all night because of trouble with pain management. I was released this morning.

Congrats!! Minus the pain aspect. But yay!! You did it. Keep us posted.

Surgery is tomorrow. Still waiting to hear from the Nick clinic regarding what time I'm supposed to be there.

It's almost 2pm. What time did you guys hear from them the day before?

Around 2 or 3

How are ya'll doing post surgery? Is one week off enough ? I should have my surgery date by Friday and then I have to do a final lab and sleep study before the big day. (that's what I'm told anyway). You kind of get little bits of into each time you communicate. Anyone else feel like that? I hope you're all doing great! Good luck MeMe!

Hola update! Got sleeved at 11:30 am on Thursday (10/22). Was great in the hospital. But then the second day was awful. Pain everywhere inside and more nauseous than I'd ever been in my life. Could only get down sips of Water and diet juice. I felt a little the third day. Was able to stomach a couple of Popsicles, which were amazingly therapeutic. Today, I'm about 50%. Getting my appetite back. Was able to eat 1/4 of strained Soup. Down 6lbs since 10/22. Need to start getting in some Protein STAT though.

Any favorite protein you ladies enjoyed directly post op?

@@Hilary, I had my surgery at Plano Surgical Center, which is about a 15 minute drive from my house.

[sleevefaith83 20]
