Hiatle Hernia repair w/ Gastric Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hey y’all! I just got my surgery August 15 2018 everything’s going well except for hiatal hernia repair. I know I’m still swollen and I still have to heal but it just hurts to drink anything and it’s already been two weeks. I’m on the purée stage as of right now the pain from my hiatal hernia comes and goes but is anybody else going through this and if you are how are you coping.

I had my surgery Aug 21 st. Had really bad heartburn. Doc has me on hyoscyamine 0.125 MG every 6 hours. Helps relieve muscle spasms.

Thanks for the info! I’m gonna call my Surgeon Monday, Ive been taking Pepcid for reflux but I might need something stronger it’s so unbearable at times.

I also take pepsid every 12 hours as well but the meds for the muscle spasms help so much more.

I'm sorry you are not feeling well. Remember, Monday is a holiday.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
