@@Margie122 So glad you made it home ok! I hope your nausea is gone.

@@shellyd67 Happy that there's minimal pain. I sure wish your heart rate would come back to a normal level.

@@TXTinana The incision that hurts you most is the same one hurting me. I can't move without feeling it tugging. The bleeding has pretty much stopped. The gas pain is a, well, pain, huh? Ugh.

Everyone, take care of you!

Been in my hospital bed most of this evening with a headache. Getting released in the morning and dreading the ride home.

Good evening all. Surgery went very well. I'm not in much pain from the surgery itself just sore. The gas pain is an other story. I just want to burp so bad. Overall I feel better soon Han expected. Now to sleep again.

@@thinkingthin15 Congrats! The gas pain is totally brutal. Walking as much as you can really does help. I almost always burp two or three times while I'm walking laps around the inside of my house...it's too hot outside. Keep us posted!

Feeling tired a lot. Want to sleep and sip. About to walk the hall again. Pain not to bad at all but getting my meds regularly which helps for when the burps happens. But overall I and 4/10.

The gas really is the worst part. 3 days post op today and I feel pretty good. I also am still wanting to sleep a lot and haven't been able to get all the liquids down but my doctor says that's okay right now just get down what as much as I can. Phew. This is definitely no "easy way out."

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
