I had a headache tonight when I came home from a date with my husband. I don't get headaches very often, but when I do, they're bad.

Took some codeine. BIG mistake..

I didn't think my stomach was empty. We'd eaten out, and I took the pill with some milk. Apparently, my stomach was empty and this is not a good thing with codeine.

I am currently sitting on the sofa feeling lightheaded, sweating, with a pain in my stomach that is as bad as anything I had when I had gallstones. OMG!

On the plus side, my headache is gone.

I don't know what's worst, the HA pain or the nausea, sweats, etc. Hope it passes soon. :)

I think I'm going to live. ;) What an awful night!

If it hadn't been for the info posted on VST, I would have gone to the hospital, thinking terrifying things about the integrity of the sleeve. Going to the hospital can be a bit of a nightmare all on its own, so I'm glad it wasn't necessary.

Note to self... "The doctor gave you liquid paracetamol for reason. Duh." (Oh, to have remembered that before scarfing down a TEC3.) *sigh*

Thanks for the empathy. :)

CE

I hope you're feeling better. Codeine is not my friend either. I don't know how people get hooked to that stuff, it made me so, so ill.

      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.

      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!
