I have been sleeved



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved and hernia repair monday morning. Woke up from surgery with tons of pressure in my diaphragm from fas bubbles. Right where they did hernia repair. I have been up walking a lot, just got cleared by xray to swallow liquids. Nausea has been a huge issue. They may keep me an extra day because of my getting sick. Finally got chicken broth and Jello but lost interest very fast. Terrified of dry heaving anymore.

Hope you feel better soon. The hernias repaired with the sleeve are pretty common. They should be able to give you something for nausea?

These next few days will suck, but it will get better soon. Hang in there!

@@Joy@boman I had surgery last week and had to stay an extra day because of nausea. Ask for the anti-nausea patch they put behind your ear. That seemed to help me. Also - I didn't take my pain meds by day 3 because I thought they may have been making me more nauseous. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks guys I am home now. Trying to get some Protein shake down me. My sleeve is still pretty swollen, so feels like a big lump in there. Everything I eat tastes like dirty pennies. I am content with cough drops to soothe irritated throat. No problems with sleeve surgery. Mostly hernia repair pain.

Why do they give you pills to swallow for nausea instead of the melt in your mouth ones. Having really hard time keeping it down

There is an anti nausea patch for behind the ear, and one that melts under your tongue. Maybe you can ask for one of them?

maybe ur insurance doesn't cover the zofran odt ...I think that's what they are called that melt under the tongue.

They also have promethazine suppositories...not so fun but yeh...

Still ask ur pharmacy about the zofran odt and see why you can't get that one ...

      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!!
