Don't worry! It will go well. I'm 10 days post op and I resumed a normal life except for the food and few pounds less. It's so worth it

good luck tomorrow!!!

I am 2 days post op. I past gas for the first time since before the surgery today. Pain is bearable with meds which I haven’t had any pain medication since early this morning so that’s another hurdle crossed. I’m anxiously awaiting my first bowel movement. I’ll feel loads better once that happens. I’m not hungry at all. It’s strange. My husband just cooked himself hamburgers and sausage. It smelled fantastic but I wasn’t hungry for it. Bizarre feeling. The food thing is easier than I thought it would be which is a huge relief.

I was nervous like you as well. Don’t worry. They will give you good meds and as soon as you pass out, you will be awake asking for more of that feel good medicine. It’ll be over before you know it!

Also, don’t let The nausea scare you. Again, I am two days post op and my nausea went away completely yesterday. I dry heaved and it felt like the world was ending for like a day. Don’t be afraid to ask your nurse for pain meds and anti-nausea meds. Those will be your friends. Just remember, it’s not forever. It will pass in a day or two!

I'm 3 days post op and last night was the first night I pass gas....and it was awesome. The pressure release was spectacular. I kinda leaned over the side of my bed with tummy on the bed and booty in the air...and it worked. I'm getting my liquids in...but its tight. My incision site is super sore because I had severe nausea because of the anesthesia...I did a lot of dry heaving and coughing after the surgery, painful. I still have no regrets.

I feel the same way and everyone is friendly and respectful. I think we're like minded people with two common goals, a healthier life with a body to match[emoji4]. I had a bowel movement right before the surgery but none thus far. My doctor prescribed Miralax so I'll give that a try tomorrow. I wish you much success when you're sleeved.

      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!
