Just got home from hospital



Recommended Posts

The day/night of surgery and the following 2 days were pretty awful for me. Then the third day out, everything rapidly started getting better.

Take your pain pills regularly during those first few days. I couldn't have gotten through it without them. (And I took them every 4 hours religiously those days.)

Now, at 8 days post-op, I am feeling pretty good. I get tired very easily, and I have to remember that my body is still in a fragile state (especially when I want to pick something up or bend over).

Good luck and feel better!

@@TammyMMD Take the meds as prescribed - even if you think you feel better. Once you get to the point where they wear off - it's very hard to catch up to the pain again. Be sure to walk alot - get rid of the gas pains and use a heating pad. I'm sure it's good to be home!!!

Drink your water!! At about 10 days out I thought I was Super Woman and over did it. Ended up in the ER and 3 bags of IV.

I got home from the hospital yesterday, in a lot of pain as well. The pain meds work, but I throw up sometimes after I take it bc it doesn't sit well with my stomach. Hoping it all passes soon. I barely can drink or eat Soup. hurts going down

      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!
