Should I be worried about a leak in my staple line now?

I'm 5 days post op having trouble today just ate some sugar free jello and laid down. Started feeling nauseous so I took an anti nauseas pill but I didn't take it soon enough. Sat up in my chair thinking elevation would help but I just violently dry heaved for about 3 mins. What are the chances I just hurt my sleeve?

I was sleeved on July 15th and my hair is/ was my best feature. But after losing my hair after 2 pregnancies I decided the out come of my hair from this operation probably won't be a good one. I had long ... Healthy... Shinny.. Dark auburn hair... And the night before surgery.... I CHOPPED IT OFF!! It was kinda my own way of saying f-u body, I ruined it on my own terms. Lol it's hair, it will grow back.. I plan to start biotin soon. But in the mean time it helped to know I still had control over this one thing... Good luck!

I think I've had all I can stomach of the liquid pain meds. 5 days out and I haven't puked yet. But waking up hurting just a few mins ago and taking my liquid pain med I about threw up in my bed! I will enjoy figuring out how to swallow actual Tylenol tomorrow and be joyful.

... Water and protein can kiss my butt!! There is no way I'm going to be able to get 60oz of water in, in a day. Or 60grams if protein!! I sip sip sip all day long and I'm lucky to get 20oz of water and 30grams of protein.

... Where does all that nasty fluid go if I didn't get a drain?

Thanks for hijacking my thread...

I'm super sore, I had a haital hernia repaired while my sleeve done. But I'm doing good. First night home and ready to get some rest. Just waiting for my meds to kick in. My surgery was done in McLaren northern Michigan hospital in Petoskey. I am 100% pleased and happy with dr. Nagles performance and bedside manner. He awoke me early this morning to ask me how my night went and how my pain was and if I had any questions or concerns and then explained my hiatal hernia. It was nice to be able to talk to him while the hospital was quite and calm.

My surgery was done in McLaren northern Michigan hospital in Petoskey. Dr. Nagle and dr. Baker switch weeks and travel north to take on patients that other wise wouldn't have surgery because of the traveling. I am 100% pleased and happy with dr. Nagles performance and bedside manner. He awoke me early this morning to ask me how my night went and how my pain was and if I had any questions or concerns and then explained my hiatal hernia.

20 mins late to the hospital... Laying in my pre op "room". sitting here alone balling my eyes out! Didn't get to say good bye to my baby boy like I wanted to and I'm a wreck!!!

Thank you... I think that's exactly what I will do!

... I think I'm afraid to "pack" my bag??! I have everything set out that I need..... But I just can't bring myself to put them inside the bag!!!

Thanks everyone.. My hands are shaking

It's finally here!!!!!!!!!!!! 5am HERE I COME!!! I hope they give me something for my nerves when I get there!! And I don't think I'll be able to sleep a wink tonight!!

My surgery is so close!!! I don't know what to do with myself!!!!! Can't sleep can't eat... Time needs to hurry up just a few hours!!!

Where at in Michigan?

That 1 out of 400 will die from complications

I'm so many emotions right now. Excitement was just the easiest to identify! Plus I've had 7 other operations and 2 babies.. The procedure it's self isn't scaring me... It's the statistics that have my nerves rattled the most

My office closed for vacation on June 28th and doesn't reopen until Monday so I didn't get my last pre op appointment.. I feel really abandoned! Lol

This obnoxious hospital bracelet they gave me for my blood draw this morning with STRICT instructions NOT TO REMOVE before my surgery isn't helping matters either!!!

It's only Friday night and I'm already losing sleep over my surgery Monday morning!! I might be more excited for this then I was for our trip to Florida/Disney world/sea world!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I need a margarita!!

But I've lost 10 lbs
