Surgery Is Done



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to thank you all for the emotional support. My surgery is done. Most of the dizziness, and nausea has passed but still in a lot of pain. I am so grateful I could stay here overnight. If I can do this, anyone can. Will post my surgery day story when I feel better. Thanks.

See daisy I knew you could handle it. So glad you are on your way now. Congradulations, get some rest and take your meds on a consistent basis. (ahead of the pain) At least for a couple of days. I haven't had surgery but that's what I'm going to do.

Thank you ladies. I can have more med in 2 hours thank goodness. I am scared to overdo it today. After getting home and laying in bed, the pain was extreme to the point that it hurt to breathe. I think i need a wedge bc my angle is bad. I also hurt the port site when trying to roll out of bed.

So it's been a rough day but hope it is better day 3

Hi Manda.,

Feeling a little better today. The pain isnt as severe. I am able to get up out of bed and chairs a lot easier. I walked a couple blocks outside though that wiped me out. I am having trouble getting deep breaths in so working on practicing my breathing. Sipping on my liquids all day. The thing is I am SO gassy. Feels like I need to let the air out if you catch my drift.. But nothing comes out.

Overall better than yesterday!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
