Looks just like George, except he wasn't clear and resided in a jaunty little fanny pack.

LOL my ball didn't have a name. But it was this wonderful thing that went into my tummy and delivered meds directly to the area. My husband pulled it out and I felt nothing except for the tape. OMG no one warns you about the tape. It's like getting a wax with cold wax very very slowly. I'm doing so much better today. Thank you to everyone for their warm wishes. I still have pain where my main incision is and if i try to bend certain ways or twist it pulls and hurts. Same thing if I try and get up the wrong way. I know that'll get better. I'm taking my pain meds at night because I've caught myself twisting in my sleep. Other than that it's rare that I take them during the day. I just want to get this drain out and be done with my constant shoulder bag. I'm still having problems with cold stuff which is frustrating. I tried warming it up in my mouth first but that didn't seem to help. I've been walking tons which has been nice. I handled my husband eating in front of me for the first time pretty well. The thought of eating all that food (it was a pb&j sandwich) made me sick lol. I do miss chewing gum though. I understand that it is dangerous if you swallow it but I have swallowed gum in like 16 years.

This thread by far is one of the funniest that I have read on this site. Thanks guys for the laugh. The whole search for the meaning of a pain ball...hilarious!!! So I got a laugh and I learned something new.

Thanks again and I hope you all have a terrific weekend!

BTW... I didn't know what a pain ball was either. @ Jordien, agreed... testicular pain - it's not funny but admittedly, I laughed when I read that. LOL

Be well,

Niki

      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?
