Anyone travel & had the surgery by themselves?



Recommended Posts

I've actually thought about this since yesterday, I wasn't on pain meds till after I got home. I walked in to the pharmacy & got my pain meds myself. The husband drove me home, I could have (of course the hospital says you have to have someone drive you home but it was an 80 year old volunteeer that saw me off--what was he going to do if I walked to the drivers side) I had no nausea, and although I was in pain starting that morning (I had to spend the night per my insurance company) and going until I got home & got that Vicodin in me, it wasn't so bad.

I don't know you from Adam but you can do this!

Good Luck dear

Update: NO NAUSEA. The anastesiologist was a wonderful lady and actually getting my wisdom teeth pulled was worse. I was nervous before but as you can see my surgery at 9:40 am today and now its 1pm. No gas pain no nausea. Just a little sore around the port area.

That's great news! Just don't overdo it - right now you probably are still are feeling some subconscious effects of the anesthesia that's making you feel good. I felt amazing on Day 1, it was as if I didn't have surgery at all but just did a million situps. Day 2 hit me like a ton of breaks. I mean overall it still wasn't bad, but compared to day 1 it was a big difference.

      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.

        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.

      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!
