Hospital stay after surgery....



Recommended Posts

I had surgery at 10am on Monday, 27 June and was on my way home at 1pm Tuesday. I was up walking on Monday, and my catheter was removed in recovery- also no drain for me. I was very lucky in all facets of this surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday at 11. I didn't wake up until midnight. Was up in chair and walking at 4am. My only pain medication had been every 4 hours tylenol

Forgot to say the surgeon may release me tomorrow. In addition to rNY I apparently had a large hiatal hernia the he repaired. I'm really not that sore today

My surgeon required the same stay for all his patients, which is rather long in comparison to most I think. I was in there with two of my friends from Options classes (a Kaiser thing). We all had the RNY.

The first had hers on Monday and was out on Thursday. The second has hers on Tuesday and was out on Friday. I had mine on Wednesday and was out by Saturday. So that's 4 days, give or take.

My surgery was on 8/22 and I would have gone home the 24th but we were having a problem controlling my nausea. Went home the 25 and quit taking pain meds - nausea went away as soon as I gave up the pain pills

      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.

      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!
