Am miserable. Can't sleep, in pain and the liquid lortab makes me sick. I look at my distended belly with the giant holes in it and really question if I made a mistake. It's too late now.

I would call the dr tomorrow and see if they can change your pain med or give you something for the nausea from the meds...either Phenergan (will make you sleepy) or Zofran (won't make you sleepy).

I have my surgery on the 17th and wondering how I will feel after.

Hope you feel better soon!!

Sorry you're in so much pain : / I'm 5 days out and as weird as it is, the 4th day was the worse for me. I laid in bed all day...I swear if I get clots it will be because of yesterday! The loritab isn't helping me much either...But tylenol Pm is...They told me not to take pills yet but sent me home saying I can take one of my regular meds that's a 1 gram pill...it's huge!!! So I figured tylenol pm wouldn't hurt plus it really helps me sleep! I'm starting to have a lot of back pain from sleeping in the same position. I can't wait till I can lay on my side all the way! Have you been using a little pillow against your stomach every time you get up and down? That has been a life saver for me!!!

THe Phenegren knocked me O-u-t! I couldn't take any other pain meds. Do you have a drain? If it's gas, try walking. I know you don't want to hear that but it really does help. I hope you feel better and this is the hardest part. I thought the exact same thing post-op! I wanted to rewind time but I am 19 days out now and it's sooooo much better!

Thanks everyone. Took a walk around my house for about 20 mins and crushed up a xanex. I know he also fixed a hiatial hernia. I wonder if that could be part of it? My drain was taken out at the hospital thank god.

      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.
