Did you have the hernia repair? It seems most ppl with the repair have the pain and spasms as side effect. I have it also, i take my meds which help somewhat.

Ha! I am pre-op but I've been assigned Dr. Yoo, too.

Did you like him NJGirl? Did you have sleeve or bypass?

I have the sleeve. I changed my mind at the last minute. I was originally set to get the bypass, but as I continued to research both it seemed that the sleeve was a better choice for me.

NJGirl, I just read in another thread that you used Duke and Dr. Yoo....I was assigned Dr. Yoo, too. Did you like him as a surgeon? Were you happy with Duke overall?

Hi. Yes I was very satisfied with Dr. YOO and his team. The night crew(nurses) was the best, so attentive.

Dr. Yoo is doing my surgery. I liked that he did my endoscopy as well so he's seen the inside as well as the outside!

Dr Yoo was my surgeon also. 5/25

I also had mine in 5/25 and I have been experiencing the spasms since day 1. My dr gave me diazepam which i take every 8 hrs. It helps with the spasms but it will still hurt when u swallow your food and once it reaches your belly. Its not a cure all, but better than feeling every single spasm.

You may be holding onto some weight because you are dehydrated, as crazy as it sounds. The night I spent int he hospital I was dehydrated because they couldn't get the IV in and then it infiltrated (big pain in the butt). Once I was hydrated, I was peeing like crazy and the scale dropped. Hang in there and keep on sipping.

Thanks

you're not doing anything wrong. they pumped you full of IV fluids and who knows what else. you've got to heal, work on the fluids, then Protein. the weight *will* come off. you really need to get up on the fluids as much as possible though or it will cause loads of problems.

Thank you. I think i was dehydrated the first night home because i had two separate Migraines that night. Dr on call said i needed more Fluid and to add gatorade. But i am not still getting much down. Everything spasms on The way down. Not a good incentive to eat or drink.

Surgery was also on 5/25 with hernia repair. Still having spasms and pain. I haven't worked up to 64 oz, i doubt even 20 oz. I really need to get on that. I haven't lost any weight. What am i doing wrong?

Hi, new to all of this. Surgery was 5/25, also had hernia operation which kept me in the hospital longer. Was in hospital 2 weeks b4 for pain similar to heart attack. (It had to be the hernia ) Still sore. Is the phase 1 eating schedule the same as if i didn't have the hernia?
