Could use some help for my Fiance...She had her surgery last night.



Recommended Posts

Guess she didn't rest well and is still vomiting/cant keep stuff down. She goes in to see the doctor at 11, so hopefully that goes well and maybe she'll have some nausea medicine or something.

I hope they gave her some anti-nausea meds. My first night in the hospital the pain meds were making me very nauseated and they were able to give me anti-nauseas to keep from throwing up. If they haven't offered, maybe ask for some? I hope she turns the corner soon!

I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with work and trying to take care of her. I am ecstatic because this morning she woke up and everything seemed to be a complete 180. She actually smiled today, and I hadn't seen a real one of those since her surgery. She hasn't thrown up in 2 days and she's been sipping on water/broth/sugar-free juice all day to stay hydrated. I think we're on the home stretch, just wanted to update everyone and thank you all for your help and support. Definitely not my last post here. Also, I have her taking a prevacid daily, that's okay, right? She's craving solid foods already.l, which I think is the only hard part now.

Robster, this sounds great. Any surgery is scary. It is downhill now. Smile! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life. Give her broth and popsicles and according to her doctor's plan. Tell her I said hugs, and get moving, walk as much as possible. I drove in 2 days and shopped 5 days later at the mall. I am loving my life at 68! God Bless you both on this journey. Linda

The Prevacid is fine. My surgeon prescribed me Prevacid for 3 months after surgery. If over the counter doesn't seem to work, have her ask her PCP for the prescription strength. Glad she's doing better!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
