Wish I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time :-(

Hello Ladies,

I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulties following your surgeries. However, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who this has happen to. I am here to say it gets better. I'm 2 years out next month and have been through the mill and back with complications. Mine started out much like what you've described but continued to get worse. I was sick as a dog for 4 months, dry heaves 24/7. Needless to say, I got dehyrated and hospitalized 5 times in that short window. But allas the nausea stopped like someone had flipped a switch once I was placed on Reglan. This was not quite 2 years ago. I suffered long term effects from malnutrician and ended up losing the feeling midchest down. I was thought to have MS but it was ruled out. I cried for days and regretted even having thoughts of the surgery, but after much PT I went from wheelchair to a walker to cane and finally nothing. I can't squat yet but I couldn't do that before surgery.

I'm not saying this has been easy, because it hasn't. But I can tell you I would do it again in a heartbeat. I feel sooooo much better. I can wear normal size clothes, go places with friends without feeling like I was slowing them down, take the steps and finally I can breathe without getting winded.

With this being said, I wish you all nothing but the best!

Love and Light,

Rhonda

Oh my Gosh Rhonda! That is a horror story. I am so glad you came out to the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a question.... why did they wait so long before trying Raglan? I would think that would be

on the short list of medications for your initial issues.

Take care, so glad you're doing well now.

Dana

      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!
