I am a new member. I am having a hiatal hernia with a sleeve on Wednesday, June 18th. I am nervous but happy to finally have it scheduled. Anyone else scheduled for June 18th>

Congrats. Good luck. Am the 25th

I'm having surgery on June 18th also!!! I'm so excited to start this new journey in my life!!!

I have pre op today at noon. Really nervous now. I hope I am more calm tomorrow!

Hello! This is my first post and I am in my hospital bed having my surgery this morning. The two days before I just kept reading posts and doing more research. I kind of had cold feet.

But here I am. Luckily I had the "air" pain just under my ribs and I did have some nausea. I have had my meds as given or allowed. I would say my pain level is a 3 out of 10. I'm so happy I've done this. I was going to. Do the band, but I have to take 3 different pills each day. My primary Doc said I should do sleeve since it does not change the opening size. I just have to space out taking them.

Thank you to all of you on this forum. I've found it fascinating and helpful. Wishing everyone out there a successful and satisfying journey.

I'm getting ready to leave for the hospital for surgery at noon. My stomach is in knots! I'm ready for this to be over and to be on the other side. Good luck to the others having surgery today!

Best of luck with your recovery.

Good luck to you!! May it go smoothly and as painlessly as possible.

I'm home from the hospital. It went smoothly but now that I'm home I'm having pain. I have a liquid pain med but am told it tastes horrid. I'm already nauseas so I haven't taken it.

I am home as well. Surgery was Tuesday am and got home last night at 5. While I did so well in the hospital the pain came with the ride home. I take the nausea medicine first and then take my pills. I did three pills last night and four this morning. I did keep them all down. I'm taking it easy today, but I will try to stroll on the treadmill later today. Good luck to all of you and remember it does get better. I know the next few days will be tough but I have lots of support.

I took the pain med and only took 1/2 but it made me very nauseous and it hurt a lot Just have to power through it!

Keep on with the pain meds, they really help!!! Just take things one day at a time.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm worried about not drinking enough and now I am running a 99.7 fever. I'm wondering if I should take some liquid Tylenol.
