Surgery tomorrow 12/27



Recommended Posts

New here. Been reading these boards for the last few weeks, my first time posting. I am scheduled for surgery at 8:30 am tomorrow morning, 12/27. Getting nervous! Excited for what this means for my life, mostly nervous about having actual surgery and complications. But it’s taken me two years to get to this point and there is no turning back now. Sit have to have faith that everything is going to be fine.

Getting better. Still a ton of trapped gas, but I have been able to stop the dilaudid pain meds. Still taking the zofran and meds for esophageal spasms pretty regularly. Able to consume a little more liquid each day and some Protein. Deffinately not a walk in the park yet tho. Whoever says this is the easy way out can kiss my ass :)

Awesome. I still have some trapper gas too. Burping alot, and coming out the other way as well lol. I started my Protein Water this morning and it's going down pretty good. It's definitely not a walk in the park. But we got this. [emoji4]

Have you been getting any sleep? I just can't get comfortable. Up every hour or so.

First few days I had to sleep on the couch, there was no getting comfortable. I am up every 2-3 hours still, but I take a quick 10 minute walk to loosen some of the gas up and lay back down and an able to get back to sleep. Don’t know what your doc prescribed you for meds, but mine gave me some Valium, and I take it right before bed and that helps a lot. I average about 8 hours, with waking up 2-3 times a night. A pillow under my stomach has been helpful as well.

Glad it went well. Now every day it'll get a bit better. The gas is the worst, walk as much as you can and keep sipping!

      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!
