I felt the same fear. I am a nurse, so I thought of disasters, I was not even told about LOL I was terrified of the drain, I cant take pain meds, so was terrified of how I would deal, I was so worried about nausea from anestesia, wow I had quite a list of fears. Truth is, I did not use any pain meds after except the liquid tylenol, iv drip. Besides when I had to sit up, I honestly was comfortable, and the next week on thursday, I was at yard sales. The drain was weird, but so quick I did not have time to even worry, I wish the nausea was just as easy, but for me, I always react to anestesia, and I knew ahead of time, zopran and phetergine, would not work, so it was a challenge for me for 3 days, and then ended as quick as it came. During that time, it was rough, but looking back now, I was very lucky. You will be fine, just listen to what your body needs. In a week, you will wonder why you let yourself get so worried :) prayers to you all, and speedy recovery

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
