Aha...the business center in the Hampton Inn! Memories. There are GREAT juices at the supermarket next door, in varities that are not always available in smaller US grocery stores. And you can always get chicken broth and tea at Sanborn's. The hiking will help with the gas.

I actually got in (home) last night.

I did suffer from some spasams the first day and a half but a little medicen cleared that right up.

I got chewed out by Dr. rumbaut (not bad) for doing "TOO MUCH" walking the first day of surgery. I hurt and thought it was gas. the nurses kept telling me to WALK so i did. (felt like i was going to die but i did it. then Rumbaut showed up with Dr. Diaz and ordered the nurses to give me the pain meds i had been asking for 6 hours.

more later , gotta run

Had to run with the wife to do some stuff.

Anyway.

After 6 hours of both myself and my wife asking them for some pain drugs It took the doctors chewing out the nurses for not giving me ANY meds.

I got loaded up and felt great.

Next day im doing better but still having waves of pain. like a baseball at 90 miles an hours are hitting me in the chest.

at the motel Dr Diaz shows up that night and sees me have a attack and hands me some more pain pills AND meds for my spasams.

Started taking them and the next day walked two different malls and felt so much better.

The flight home wasnt bad. we flew first class for the bigger seats and not having to stand in the long lines.

Today i havent had a pain pill yet but will take one of the lower dosage pills in about an hour. (maybe too much walking today.)

One word of advice to those going to Mexico.

IF you dont know any spanish words, learn a few of the basics and immportant words.

Like bathroom, pain, Water, PLEASE and "No habla espanol"

      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.

        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!
