surgery today, part two to my story



Recommended Posts

Well surgery was Friday and the staff here was very sympathetic to my previous experIence and walked me through VERY slowly I woke up with no issues but dang if I didn't have buyers remorse. Day two stank badly and again I questionned why I felt the need for this. But today is day three I am up walking around a ton and feel so much better then yesterday. Today I feel like I got punched in the gut but other then thatAnd residual weakness from anesthesia things are going better. The doc shoul be in soon to do m leak test then I go to motel here for a night and home tomorrow! Yay I miss my husband and boys! Though my mom been the rock for me here.

I will post more when I get home and have my laptop handy

Best wishes!!!

I am doing great and I am almost half way home. We are driving through loa Angeles right now. I can't wait to see my hubby and kids. If you would have asked m th second day post op how I thought I woupd be feeling today, I certainly wouldn't have been this good. I have residual abdomenal pain but mostly tender to touch only. I am getting my energy back but I have a lingering headache I refuse to take anything for at thiz moment. The doc sent me home with some and I googled them they are nsaids. I thought those were no no's I am taking my stomach acid protector and an antacid the prescribed. I think I'm a little leery of the drugs you can't get in USA! Call me ocd who knows. I will take those and the antibiotic the pain stuff can kiss my rear.

I will report a blow by blow later when I'm not travelling in a car! Thank you all again, also any headache medicine suggestions are welcome.

      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!
