I was sleeved on November 9 and they also fixed a hiatal hernia. I have been in quite a bit of pain and the nausea on the second day made me want to lay down and die! Home today and feeling better but still in lots of pain and very overwhelmed by all the medications and having to drink one or two ounces every 15 minutes. Hopefully I will get used to it soon.

Hi Mrs. Burn -

I had my surgery on the 7th and I feel just like you do. I am feeling better every day, but WOW is all I can say. By any chance do your wrist hurt? My teeth even hurt. I ended up back in the hospital yesterday because I was dehydrated. Big bummer because I had to have another IV.

I really hope we can talk and help one another through this journey.

Tons of smiles your way!

I wad sleeved the 9th and had horrible nausea the second day from the dilauded. Once I switched to Tylenol 3, I started feeling better and I got to come home late yesterday afternoon. I'm not experiencing too much pain other that the incision where my drain was. I'm also having a difficult time getting comfortable enough to sleep any longer than 2 hours at a time. I absolutely HATE the Isopure but I'm choking it down and then sipping on warm broth (which is sooo good). I have noticed that the more I walk and move around, the better I feel!! So walk, walk walk!!!

Hoping we all recover soon!!!

:)

I had my sleeve on Nov. 7th and came home on the 9th and I must be extremely lucky because I feel really terrific!! The first day in the hospital I had some pain, but only took pain medication twice and have had none since. I am making my own Protein Shakes and having one (16 oz apprx.) per day and about 20 oz of Water per day. I'm sleeping fully through the night and just have a bit of soreness. I consider myself very lucky. Must have had a terrific surgeon!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
