Week post op today and full of regret.



Recommended Posts

Having the most horrible experience of my life.

Something so exciting has been nothing but....

Surgery was Monday. Couldn't keep down Water until Wednesday.

Finally went home Thursday, only to return to the ER Thursday night with fever/chills. I was admitted to the hospital, joy!

My appendix needed to come out. Was VERY ill, come to found out it was C-Diff from all the antibiotics they gave me. In for surgery I go.

Friday/Sat/Sun/ horrible horrible horrible horrible. Some of the Worst days of my life.

I cried to so many nurses, I praise the lord I have a couple excellent nurses who became a friend pretty much and helped me thru.

Today, I am ok. Im breathing.

Still nothing close to feeling good.

If I could turn back time right now, I would have never shown up for surgery on Monday.

:( :( :( :(

I am so sorry you had such a horrible time. It sounds like the appendix was the big culprit. Regardless of your RNY on Monday, you still would have needed an appendectomy. Now you just need to take time to heal - it'll be harder with the app'y pain but hang in there! You CAN do this so stay strong and lean on your family, friends or this board for support. We're here for you sister! Healing thoughts coming your way!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
