Recommended Posts

Wow I can wait to get this drain out had for a week and bothersome. Thanks I hope its painless !!

I didn't experience pain when it was removed. It just felt akward as you can feel it moving across your organs inside. Took maybe 10 seconds after the stitches after stitches were removed.

Yes it's good to know I was starting to panic about appointment tomorrow and wondered should I take a pain pill before hand

Now I'm sure it is different for everyone, but in my case it didn't hurt. Akward is the only way I can think to describe it.

Having that plastic tape pulled hurts way more than anything else in my opinion.

Nope. I think I had one just during surgery.

I was catheterized during surgery and it was taken out before I woke up. However, I had to be catheterized 2 times post-op because I couldn't urinate on my own. Good times. lol.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
