Well Friday the 22nd had surgery. Went to recovery for a while. Then they sent me to my room. Later that Friday I started throwing up blood then had diarrhea.I did that the rest of that day. Saturday morning about 5 I sent for the nurse because I had to go to the restroom. She helped me up. I got dizzy and the next thing I knew I was on the floor. I was there for about 45min. They got me on the bed. I stand in bed for the rest of the day.

I noticed that my foot was hurting and I kept telling everyone.

They sent me for a CT SCAN they found the leak and I had to go back into surgery and stop the bleeding. I had the to have 3pints of blood.

Well my doctor came in and check on me and I told him that my foot was hurting. He had it x rayed and come to find out my foot is broken. Now I have to go the surgeon and schedule for a foot surgery. This has been a real experience. I don't think I ever want to go through this again.

I'm sorry you went through all of this. I had my surgery on 7/18/16 and the recovery from the surgery was tough for me as well but not like this

      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!
