A lot of the tips you need will come from your surgeon and the nurses. But, I will say this... You will probably have gas pains (you will feel them in your back, neck, and/or shoulder. If the Hydrocodone doesn't take the edge off while you're in the hospital, then request dilaudid. It will help. Good luck! :D

My surgery is September 26 too!! ???? I obviously can't give you any tips about the actual surgery, but my surgery was rescheduled twice because of low Iron so if you have any questions about the preadmission testing and stuff like that let me know!

      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!

      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!!
