Francesca's update



Recommended Posts

Just a quick update, I got my drain tubes and 40 staples out yesterday. I am feeling better but still in a lot of pain. I really am getting better day by day.

My Dr. says that I am doing well considering the extensive surgery he had to do.

well I will write more later,

bye for now

Wowza, 40 staples?! I'm assuming you didn't have this band removal done laporoscopically, right? Your hubby posted that there was alot of infection, so that makes sense, yes? Girl, so glad to see you posting and on the mend. Hang in there. Keep us updated, too. All the best to you!

So happy to hear you healing now Francesca. It was great to speak with you even though it was too quick.JUst remember not to over do anything especially because you surgery was so invasive. I pray the stomach Gods are kind to you & your back to an upright position soon. I know you must be so happy getting all that crap out of your gut (Tubes & Staples) I'll talk w/ya soon. TC

OWIE!! 40 staples!! I was blessed that I could have my band removed laproscopically. I was so afraid I would have to be cut open but Billy didn't have to. I did have a drain in for two days though. They took it out just before I was discharged yesterday.

Francesca, I am praying for a speedy recovery and no more surgeries for along long time for us.

HUGS

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.Β  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.Β  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❀️ Together, we got this!
