Made It Through Surgery Today.



Recommended Posts

I made it through surgery today! Keeping up w pain w pain pump meds through iv. Took first walk at 5:30 tonight wasn't bad. Will be walking every 4 hours, they will wake me up in middle of night to walk. Ice chips one medicine cup every hour. Tomorrow will do 4 an hour of medicine cups of Clear Liquids.

They found 2 hernias fixed the hital hernia but left other one. Fixing the hital hernia might make it hard to get liquids down tomorrow the Dr said. Other hernia will be fixed later down the road dr said.

Keep up doing such a great job! Ice chips were my friend and the only thing I really wanted - the hospital kept bringing Jello and broth. If you get a chance, ask for an ice back to lay on your stomach. It really helped me and I think it helped to keep the swelling down.

Congratulations! I hope you start to feel better real soon. I have to have a hiatal hernia repair also, so I have some questions for you when you start to feel better.

Welcome to the loser's bench!!!!!! I also had a hiatal hernia repaired... but I didn't know about it until my follow-up a week later. I have no idea whether it impacted my pain levels or my progression with liquids. Good luck and I'm happy to hear that you are doing well!

      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!
