The dr again wanted to send me home and wait it out. I told him no. I want the scope. He said there is risk that I may get a perforation in the stomach or there is other risks too. I stood my ground! So he is going to do surgery tomorrow. Only problem is I will miss trick or treat with my kids this year.

Have they tried steroids (decadron) to decrease some of the swelling. I'm back in the hospital too, the steroids are helping tremendously, however it's still difficult getting my Fluid and Protein in. Hope this helps! Remember, you're your own advocate, stay squeeky to get things done and let them know exactly what you need and are feeling ;-)

Take care!

Make sure they're still infusing fluids, you'll be ok for a bit without TPN BUT NOT FLUID!!!!

TAKE CARE!!!!

(I'm a RN, so I know a little bit healthcare wise...)

I made a fuss about the fluids and he is giving them now until 10. But I may push for longer cause I'm very dehydrated right now I go to throw up and I don't even have spit anymore :0( they are being nice up on the floor and I got to pet a yellow lab therapy dog which is owned by one of my nurses and she was dressed up as tinker bell

This is my first time hearing about this. What causes it?

Well they did the scope and dr said he didn't know what to expect cause he had never done one early, but said the shape was correct. He said its open now but doesn't know if the pain could be caused by something else or the way the stomach is laying inside. He said we just have to wait it out!

      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.

        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!
