Hi everybody! Not maybe complaints beyond gas and drain site! I've been allowed ice chips..and it has been a blessing! Using dilaudid when necessary. Gas is a pain..I have been belching but not from the right end! :-). Day one complete..may we all recover well!

I have had gas pain, and pain in my neck as well. My throat is a little sore from the breathing tube. I am doing well I was walking all over the hospital. I am home now and doing well. I only have 3 holes, they didn't do the liver biopsy because it looked great. The took my stomach out of my belly button, and I have a hole in each side of my belly button. I am excited for what is to come and wondering how long it will be before I can drive!

I have the same gas pain as everyone, 6 incisions and they each are extremely sore and painful. I've been taking pain killers which seem to help a little bit, and drinking liquids is much harder than I thought. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be...

It's tough. So far I've had one 16 ounce bottle of Water and 1 cup of broth today. I'm not sure if it's nausea or pain, but even little sips don't feel great going down. I haven't taken any pain meds, nausea meds or Gas-X today. I just didn't want to mask anything today to see how I'd do. Probably stupid, but I'll find out as the day goes on.

      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!!
