3 days after surgery



Recommended Posts

Posted in this site as when I was reading some of the messages it scared the tripe out of me

So I am three day after surgery feeling great as long as u take all the pain relief given

Walked into theatre on the 6th had met the surgergon before hand, nurses lovely made me feel really at ease

In recovery for 2 hrs can't really remember much

Up to the ward morphine given and loads of other pain relief

Daughter arrived in 13/16 fixed the hair and facial

Consulant arrived late evening asking why I was still in gown, patient feel better he says in pj

Got into pj got coffee and yogurt up to the loo

Too excited to sleep much

Next morning coffee then porridge 30 later

Shown how to inject anti clotting drugs given loads medications for home. wounds to b left alone for ten days

And then I take off

Pass the hospital/ clinic daily when back driving and to call in if any worries

Got dress a bit make on checkout at 11:30

Good to b home

Purée loads of dinner and homemade Soups

Eating low fat yogurts and custards

Only time will tell re weightloss

But the whole experience to all you worried pre bandsters

For me it was the equivalent to key hole sterilisation

I am not saying it will b the same for everyone but that mine

So I hope that puts some of u at ease

Take care

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  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.  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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
