So had my surgery yesterday! Initially everything was ok!

However I just can’t stop vomiting! It’s horrible. Everytime I stand or sit up I vomit, everytime I take a sip of Water I vomit. Even when I take liquid meds I vomit.. so I’m feeling very sorry for myself 😩

has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

I don’t have any advice except to let your doctor know. I’m hoping you feel better soon

@eholmes89 I know it seems nearly impossible (it happened to me too) but keeping hydrated is definitely the most important thing right now. Speak to your doctor about the difficulties you’re having, Try to walk as much as you tolerate that seems to help too.

Surgery was scheduled for 7/17 & today 7/14 I got a call from central scheduling & my Dr's office that the hospital is under staffed & has no beds.... What a sad day... [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
I was trying to get this all done & be onto stage 3 by the time school started. Now I have no clue when it will be rescheduled for...
Now back to waiting & Praying it will be very, very soon.

I am so sorry! I can’t imagine getting all ready and psyched up only to get that call. Hoping it can be rescheduled soon

Sue2, I pray they can reschedule for 7/21 or 7/28 it won't be as much time before school but better than middle to end of August.

I’ll be praying with you! I understand the need before school. I have kids and used to teach. I’ve taken last year and this next year off to try to get healthy. Hope all goes well with you

      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!
