Nana5 got a reaction from Finally17 in Disappointed and Hiatal Hernia
k9nana, I had a hiatal hernia and my Dr decided to go forward with my gastric Sleeve and also repaired my hernia. I had my surgery 12/12/16. Doing great, lost 32lbs so far. The way they repair the hernia is to use the part of the stomach they remove to repair it.

Nana5 got a reaction from kar12345 in 5 Days post op
It is normal and it will probably go away in about a week or two. Keep doing what your doing.

Nana5 got a reaction from Monasmle in Surgeon recommends sleeve not bypass
I had a long history of acid reflux and on medication for many years. I had to have a upper GI and swallow test before my Dr would do my GS. I also had a hiatal hernia. My Dr decided to go ahead with the surgery since taking some of the stomach to fix hernia which is how hernia is fixed. Have not had reflux since.

Nana5 got a reaction from Alli Sunshine in Slow recovery?
I had my VGS on 12/12. It took me 2 1/2 weeks before I was able to get all my fluids and Protein in. Try to keep a record of everything that goes in your mouth. My weight loss team gave me a book that had a flow sheet that I could write down everything. Also walking is good. I saw my Dr at 23 days post-op and she wants me to do Yoga or Strength training or riding a bike. Something to tone and build muscle and increase endorphins. She says no limitations now.

Nana5 got a reaction from morningangel79 in Just over a week.. Pain
My Dr told me to us Miralax also. They also told me that I may not have a BM every day. Take the Miralax every day and you will probably have a BM in 2 days.
