I am on the sleeved side! I did have a massive hernia that needed repair but overall a great surgery.

as in your just now in a room after postop?? good to hear its all good!! dont be surprised if you get some wsophagas spasms when you sip. so take it very very slow. I also had a repair an I spasmed for 2 wks. I got thru it but just dont beat yourself up if you cant get much down...it will take a while to work up...congrats an keep us posted!! hang in there!!

I've been waiting for you!! Glad to hear from you! rest and walk and sip (that's what everyone says to do)!! take care and check in again when you're feeling better.

Thanks guys. Yes I'm in my room and should be going home Friday night

The waiting is over for you now, and time for the healing to begin. Have a very Merry Christmas!

I would have LOVED to know the hernia repair can cause spasms - it really does! I have gotten better in my med routine but that diaphragm is a PAIN. It all makes sense now in hindsight.

Hold your tummy high and go for it. It does get better daily.

So glad you felt well enough to post so soon and all is well. Had you and a few others on my mind today. It's amazing the people you meet on here and they stick in your mind. Let us know more when you feel up to it. Take care of yourself. Hope to hear more soon.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! As you know (but it bears repeating), sip, sip, sip! Right now, fluids are even more important than Protein for healing and to avoid constipation. And walk, walk, walk. I know you're going to be very successful because you've done your homework and have a great attitude. Enjoy the journey!!!

Glad to hear everything went well:)

Congrats!

@@onmywaytoonederland I'm doing ok. I'm not gonna lie, it has been rough at times, but nothing that anyone can't get through. My biggest problems have been gas and swallowing because of the hernia repair, but that's finally getting a little better. I slept through the night for the first time last night and today I feel a little stronger.
