JUST GOT SURGERY DATE!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi All-

Just got surgery date of June 27th. I have to admit I am nervous about it. I am hoping everything will go OK and I won't be vomiting all over the place. I was at my doctor's office today and met two very nice patients. They both said they had pain free and vomit free experiences. That made me more comfortable and hopeful that I won't have a bad experience.

Anyone else out there that has a similar sleeve date as me? Should we count down the days together?

I was sleeved yesterday morning. In the recovery room after surgery, I was in pretty bad pain, but it didn't last long and it got exponentially better from there. Some people have more nausea than others, and I just happen to be one of those people, but it should be easily avoidable if you don't try to walk around and sip Water back-to-back or sip too much at a time. Also make sure to sip any meds they give you and you should be fine.

At this point, I'm pain-free! Even if I wasn't taking the hydrocodon prescribed to me, I don't think I would be in that much pain anyway, maybe just some discomfort. Overall, there are times of pain, but you feel 10x better each day after the surgery. Good luck!

P.S. bring mouthwash with you to the hospital, it's amazing for right after surgery.

      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!
