I Sometimes marvel at my own stupidity. I am 5 days post op. I took my daughter to basketball practice tonight. Because of the Super Bowl only 3 girls showed up. I looked at my other daughter who came with me and said let's go shoot some hoops we almost have the whole gym to ourselves. Whoooo and off I go. Running around, jumping, shooting. Next thing you know I fall backwards on the gym floor. That's when it hit me. What the heck was I doing? I fell backwards so hard. I'm home now and scared to death about what I may have done to myself. I'm seriously hurting. It's almost like I had a moment of totally forgetting I even had surgery. Sorry I just had to vent somewhere.

If the pain doesn't improve considerably in the next day or so you may want to call your surgeon. Sooner if any additional symptoms develop. That said, I gotta tell you I love your spunk!

I am glad that I am not the only one that forgets that I just had major surgery. I had my RNY on Jan 21 and went back to work in 9 days and couldnt figure out why my body wont do what I want to.

Just take it easy !!!!

So I have a question. Should my side still hurt? Left side? Hurts to cough etc. I'm a week and 2 days post op. Just wondering how everyone else felt at this stage

Pretty common and likely nothing to worry about - especially if you had a drain which is usually on the left side. Keep in mind that internal healing takes considerably longer than external. But - it never hurts to call your surgeon if you're worried. That's what they're there for!

      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!
