Thank you. Just what I needed today!

Hi All,
i was sleeved on the first, with a hietal hernia repair. I can honest say that the gastric doesn’t hurt one bit, on the other hand, the hernia is painful and it’s so difficult to pass gas via mouth. It makes my chest feel like am having a heart attack. I haven’t been able to meet my liquids due to the hernia. Warm broth goes down great, but Water gives me pain (is not even cold, I drink it at room temperature. I walk for about 10 min 5-6 times a day. I basically just do laps around my pool (walking). Everyday it gets little better. Good luck to all those who are still not at day 1 yet. Be patient and listen to your body, it will tell what it needs. Glad you’re doing great confusedturtle3....

I was sleeved on 11/02. Incision pains aren’t nearly as bad as gas pains. I wasn’t able to get any liquids down yesterday but I got 33oz down tonight. It doesn’t hurt as much to drink now so I should be fine meeting my liquid goals for this week. I haven’t tried broth or Jello yet and prob won’t until another couple of days. Walking helps with the gas but can be painful because of the gas. My doctor recommends walking 3-4x a day for 30 minutes. I only got in about 45 minutes today so I’ll really need to space that out. Good luck to all of you November sleevers!

I am scheduled for 11/17. EGD this Monday and one preop appt. left. After submission of my paperwork, my surgery was approved by Cigna in less than two weeks. [emoji854]

I had many reasons, but the only one that mattered was that I needed to do it for me. You see I had a lot of insecurities. An ex husband that said he did not want to be married to a fat person. Seeing family at a funeral and they all said I look like my grandma. She was short and obese as well. Couldn't walk without being out of breath, constant back aches, Pre diabetic and geez the most embarrassing was constantly wearing out the crotch of my jeans, because ya know them thick thighs... etc. Finally I decided that I am only in my early 40's. With both my children grown, I can do better than this. Its time for a change. This has been the single most important and best decision I have ever made. I am making progress, working toward being the best me I can be.
