I made it out alive. I had a massage Monday before my 11:30a check in at the hospital. My surgery was scheduled for 1:30p, but wasn't rolled into surgery until 4:30. At this point I was a grumpy bitch.

Woke up pretty rough in recovery. I was extremely nauseous and vomiting for the better part of the night until 4am. We figured it was because my doc forgot to change my pain meds from Delodid (sp?) to Morphine. Once I was put on morphine, it was the difference between night and day. I feel 110% better. I've been able to keep fluids down. I'm loving the diet cranberry juice - it goes down the ease and super yummy!

Anticipating to be discharged tomorrow. My surgeon was very impressed with the shrinkage of my liver and stomach. In fact it was the smallest liver and stomach he has seen in 17 years of bariatric surgery. I was pretty stoked to hear that ????????????????

Here are my battle wounds. Five, small 1"ish incisions. The purple is his measurements. post-255591-14447920967805_thumb.jpg post-255591-14447921053921_thumb.jpg

Usually in my experience, it's the morphine that causes more nausea vomiting, I was switched because of nausea and vomiting to the dilaudid. How about those gas bubbles don't like those one but are you having a hard time with those at all?

      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.

        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!
