Sleeved today 10/15/15



Recommended Posts

I have started my venture on the losers bench.

Check in was 7:30 am and surgery was scheduled for 9:30. It got pushed a few hours.

I got to recovery around 4:30 ......... I did have pain about a 7 out of 10 but the nausea was at like a 20 it was terrible. The nurses took such good care of me they kept giving me different nausea drugs untill we got it all sorted out

If you bring 1 thing other than your person it should be BIOTENE MOUTH SPRAY. It wets your mouth and gets all the funky tastes out etc. I can not urge you more the get the $6 spray

My lower back is what hurt me the most when I got into my room. Other than that things have been bearable. The nurse let me Stand in the room to stretch my back and so I could go pee. When I got comfortable they gave me some pain and nausea meds and it knocked me out till about 7.

I got up and did about 6 laps around the unit. The nurses were so encouraging telling how much better I looked etc

Surgery weight 224.2

Height 5'2

Wow, you are already on your phone after surgery. Good for you!

The nausea sucks. I did everything I could, had them give me meds, tried to gag with my toothbrush, tried to throw up, etc., to get the feeling off my chest.

Sounds like you are doing great. I did not have anything to drink from 8PM on 10/6 to 8AM on 10/8 and it was SO HARD. No ice, no Water, nothing. I thought I was gonna die, but I survived like you!

Keep up the good work.

      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!
