My surgery is this morning at 730 am and im getting nauseous and shaky over how painful it will be after. I'm not scared ill die or something bad will happen, but the pain right after is seriously scaring me shitless. (pardon the language but that best describes it lol) Need a little reassurance from people who felt the same and/or wanna tell me im just thinking about it too much because either will help at this point lol.

getting the surgery done by Dr. Rosenthal at Cleveland Clinic in Weston, FL

Slow down.... baby girl. Why do you think it will be so painful? Do you have a low tolerance of pain? Every person is different.

I, myself had very very little pain. Used my morphine drip for half a night, then said to myself I'm not in any pain, so why am I using it. I stopped it while I was in the hospital. If you do have any pain it will be manageable. The doctor will NOT send you home until it is.

EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT. Don't stress over that.

GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES!!!! :D

Don't let this make you crazy. It's really not that bad at all. They will give you drugs at the hospital and drugs for home. My experience was liquid tylenol was enough at home.

It will be ok, I promise, and you'll be soooooo glad you did this! Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I just had my surgery 12 hours ago. I am a wimp when it comes to pain. When I was in the recovery room, I was in a lot of pain. They gave me more pain meds and I was fine. I have been up to the bathroom twice. I have already made a circle around the floor. I'm not going to say there is no pain, but it is tolerable. You will be fine. You will get a pca pump to control your pain. Make sure to tell the nurse if you are in a lot of pain because they will do anything they can to relieve the pain.

Trust me if I can do this, anyone can!!!!

      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?

        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.
