Yesterday was surgery. He fixed a hiatal hernia that I didn’t know I even had. Sore this morning, especially when using the incentive spirometer. Took my first drink this morning and it was so good.

My doc fixed the same hernia in me, and I woke up with the most excruciating back pain from it. One of the resident docs said the hernia repair wasn’t what was causing my pain, but couldn’t give me a better answer as to what it was, and it was exactly in the middle of my back where my diaphragm runs.

My pain is in center of my chest and back. Same thing as you, I’m almost certain it’s the hernia repair.

Mine took about three days to start easing up too. Walking def helps, I was asking to go for a walk about every hour from as soon as I was allowed to. Now I’m home three days, and not walking anywhere near as much (I live in Minnesota, it’s pretty brisk outside). My friend is taking me out in an hour or so, so I can get some walking done indoors 😃

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
