I am 4 days postop and wondering why I ever thought this surgery was a good idea. Everything hurts, my stomach, my back, my head. I have heartburn from the minute I woke up. I am taking dilated and vicodin and I have to take them every two hours or I am in a world of hurt. I am glad ylthat I found this group and people who get. I hate to be whinnying but I need to know that it will get better, right??????

It'll get better by the day and soon the pain and hassle will be a thing of the past. You're body just went through a major surgery and has to heal....which takes about 2 months, so try and relax and get through it then it'll be on to the rest of your slim life :)

You are in the hardest part of journey for me! Stay focused on where you will be in 6 months! DO NOT CHEAT ON PRE OP DIET! it is extremely important to shrink your fatty liver as much as possible! Your surgery will go smoother and your recovery will be faster! you can and must do this to survive! IF YOU DONT CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE YOU WILL DIE AN EARLY DEATH! I hate to be soo blunt and harsh but it is the true!!!! You will fight harder and stick to plan if you truly realize you are in a fight for you life!

I've been there!!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
