Finally Post Op and in pain



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery today with Dr Aceves. I was the 3rd to go out of the 4 of us here. I had a hernia so he repaired that for me and they didn't give me a spinal block because of a previous blood clot in my lungs. When I woke up from the surgery I was in OMG so much pain. Neither ankle surgery, my csection or my homebirth prepared me for that kind of pain. Right in the middle of my chest my stomach just below and my back were terrible. I think I didn't have any painmeds in my system when I woke up. Here I am 12 hours later. I've peed and went walking twice. I have this little yellow pouch that I could have sworn was Morphine but it isn't dripping into my line. Infact it's hard as a rock when you touch it. Dr campos if they gave me too much at one time it would make me sick to my stomach. I wish it were later in the day so I could speak to a DR or a nurse who spoke english. So that's my story so far. I cannot wait todrink something. I'm nodding off again.

I'm feel for you. I woke up in a lot of pain too and I agree-my c-section had NOTHING on this.The good news is it doesn't last long. The first two days were bad, but then it got better each day. Hang in there!

      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!
