Surgery went well yesterday, but still in lots of pain and very nauseous. Hoping tomorrow is better.

Thanks for the support everyone.

I'm on my way home now, but Had a VERY BAD night as I woke up at 2:00am with severe convulsions. I honestly thought I was going to die as my body shook uncontrollably. It was very scary.

Thankfully I am better now, but they never could pinpoint the problem. We all think it was a severe drug interaction or overdose.

Yeah it is quite nerve racking to wake up to severe convulsions. Never had anything like that happen to me before. As a result, I now have really bad neck pain as well.

Hope you are doing better and home resting to recover!!!

I am starting to feel a little better each day. I looked up my Rx's I was given in the hospital and one of them had seizures as one of their top serious side effects, so I think that is what happened.

Good to here your doing better I get drain and staples out tomorrow and cannot wait.

Thankfully my drain was taken out before I left the hospital and I don't have staples for my openings.

Good luck having them removed tomorrow!

      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!
