I get to come home today. Doctor just left and told me about my surgery and how good my liver looked and how ugly my gall bladder was... lol. He said I was doing really well and if I wanted to go home I could.

They dosed me up with several anti nausea meds prior to surgery and gave me Pepcid. Call your doc office and see what they recommend for you. Only time I got nauseated was doing the swallow test. I hit my highest pain level this afternoon after the swallow test to check for leeks.

I pray you get comfort soon.

I found the page but how do I locate the group. The page just shows thank toys to supporters and a few recipes.

Edit..... I figured it out I blame the pain meds... lol

I am home and have my recliner set up with everything around me. Now to get the husband to quit being a mother hen for a bit and I may be able to catch some zzz's because they don't let you rest well in a hospital. I have an amazing husband and he is so good to me so I should just let him pamper me. :)

This first night home is rough.

Couldn't agree more Paula, I'm in so much pain it's almost unbearable, and all I keep doing is questioning myself on why I did this, here's hoping today will be a better day.

Did they not send you home with pain medicine? Is it not a strong dosage? I have discomfort but no severe pain. But I am taking my pain meds as prescribed and not waiting for it to wear off before next dose.

If you don't get relief from your pain by morning I think you should call your doctor and get some stronger meds. No reason to hurt that bad after a surgery.

      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!!
