Well I am 3 days post op!!



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!! Its been 3 days since surgery........Monday day of surgery I arrived to the hospital at 6:30 didn't go back into pre-op until almost 8:30 once back there everything went super fast. I changed into the gown and got my IV's started, they hooked me up to the heart machine and obviously my heart was racing. So they gave me some medicine to calm me down and from there I was quite out of it I remember my parents and grandparents coming back and seeing me for a few minutes and then being wheeled off to the OR...they had me move over to the surgical table and put an oxygen mask on me....and then I woke up!! I was so disoriented and didn't understand where the hell I was and I felt like everyone was yelling at me to wake up lol!! I was in so much pain from the gas they blow you up with and all of the smells were making me sick to my stomach!! I am home now and everything is getting better a little at a time I am trying to eat but it just is so hard right now I have been really sleepy so I have been sleeping more than awake as of right now.

Congratulations!!!!

Please...if you only remember one thing, remember this.. your body is in healing phase, listen to your body....sleep when you need to, eat only when you are hungry....dont push yourself, you are in the healing phase.

Too many people try to eat, eat, eat - worried about getting protien in, etc.. and your tummy just isnt ready, your mind has to adjust to what your tummy just went through. Drink liquids and rest that is my best advise...

Good Luck

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
