Any February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.


I had mine on 2/8. Congrats!

My surgery was yesterday morning. It was a long day waiting, check in at 7 am for a 1 pm surgery. I learned I have bad veins and the nurses couldn't get an IV line into me. The anesthesiologist had to do it using an ultrasound.

I woke up with a lot of gas pain and was miserable for a couple of hours. But once I was given the dilaudid I felt much better. There was an initial wave of nausea when it went into my IV, then it went away and so did the pain, and it made me sleep well.

The overnight nurse was wonderful, was attentive and had me up walking a couple of times. Then the shift change this morning, I'm not sure if they were understaffed, or what, but nothing went right, no pain mgmt, no Breakfast to get me started on liquids. Even though my Dr gave the ok to discharge at 7 am I didn't get to leave until 3pm, so that kinda sucked. My surgeon said the surgery went well, and took 40 minutes.

Been just resting since I've been home. Slow going on the Water and Protein Drink. Been keeping up with the Tylenol Codeine I eas prescribed, but learned that is a bad idea on an empty stomach. So I followed that up w a Zofran. Looking forward to being past the pain, and able to move easily and sleep on my side :(

Day 2 post op here ... I'm feeling remarkable good! Lots of energy and very little pain. I wasn't feel great all day yesterday, so I'm relieved I seem to be recovering quickly!

That’s sooo great to hear! I went back to school today can totally tell that my energy is down and I’m not as attentive as I usually am. I’m getting all my Protein in so I’m super happy about that!

So glad to hear you are having a great recovery. I am still in pain. Not so much gas more of the sutures. Getting up and around is very painful. I hope it gets better. I am suppose to go back to work next week. [emoji17]

      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!
