Also on "the other side"



Recommended Posts

I am home and actually not feeling too terrible. My surgery was Wednesday, I had to be at the hospital at 530 am and my surgery began between 8 and 9. I fasted on liquids only, for 10 days prior, so I was terribly shocked to learn that my surgeon nicked my liver and my bowel with the tro-car thingy. So I had both of those repaired, my VSG, and a hiatal hernia,also repaired(I had no idea that it existed.)

I was in a bit of pain that night and I agree with mysparky that it feels like I have been beaten in the ribs!!!! I have been very fortunate that there hasn't been any nausea or vomiting.

Right now, I am just very happy to be home. I will post a more thorough post lately, because I have been up sitting at this computer for too long now and need to go get in some more fluids!

Amy - Congrats to you as well, but so sorry to hear about the issue w/ your liver and bowel. I've been working on the liquids today, but I wish I had more progress earlier in the day. I'm "scheduling" myself to 1 oz of Water every 15 mins until I go to bed. Sounds ridiculous, but the last thing I want to do is get dehydrated!

Can't wait to read your next post to see how you progress!

Congrats on being on the other side! That is scary about your liver, but glad your hernia was repaired. Hope you are resting, sipping, walking and then repeat.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
