What Can You Expect To Experience The First 3 Days After Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

I am having a hard time emotionally with the change. I wish SOMEONE had said you will be feeling sad or depressed for a few days. But it is because.........

Other posts have described these feelings also.

Are you still in Arizona? Im in Az.

No....although my wife and I want to move back to Arizona we are here in the midwest. I LOVE ARIZONA ....BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE. I lived in Tempe [Chandler, Old Town Scottsdale (Indian School/Millber) and Phoenix (by Union Hills and 51].

Your going to laugh but we were at major Fish/Dolphin/Whale Show here in the Midwest and they had a huge Penguin exhibit...... Specifically, there was a mural (from left to right) showing pictures of coldest penguins in the world looked like down to the warmest weather climate penguins and what they looked like.

Well...the funny thing was.....you can see an obvious correlation....THE COLDER THE CLIMATE....THE BIGGER THE PENGUIN WAS.......THE WARMER THE CLIMATE......THE SMALLER THE PENGUIN WAS. ....

LESSON LEARNED? Move to a warmer state and you will have a better chance of losing weight. Not that you will....but just a better chance :). All that I know is....I've gained 85lbs by moving back to the Midwest here.....could my theory be true regarding climate and its effect of weight? HMMM ? haha...

Blessings

I was banded today, outpatient. They kept me all day in recovery, told me to stay as long as I needed to because of pain. I was surprised. It wasnt horribly intense or unbearable but i was thinking, im super patient! I can deal. Apparently I can't. I'm a nurse so pain control and tolerance is a huge focus in my world.

I'm almost 6 foot tall, so the surgeon told my hubby that my liver was larger than he anticipated, not enlarged tho, and he had to make a 4th lap site and enlarge my umbilical site. So it took him a bit longer and he hated my big old liver it seems. Anyway, my pain is worsened when I need to burp I'm finding. And moving around really does help. I read it over and over on here but it's true!

Good luck marketing dude.

BTW- my Protein Shakes have 160 cals. In hindsight I would've found some that were Meal Replacement for my 1 week pre op. Not meer Snacks.< /p>

No, I used True Results in Scottsdale...the doctor's name is Dr. Nirmul. A few years ago I went to Terry Simpson but they were more expensive...I went the self-pay route (& 2 people I know had it done with him). With True Results all of your fills for the 1st year are included in the price....that to me was huge.

      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.

        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!
