Anyone that has had surgery within a week?



Recommended Posts

I had mine on 11th. Only stayed one day since I was doing laps on the floor like a mad woman. Come home, dry heaves from nausea mess so dropped those. Had my first BM this am and feel wrecked. Seems to be step backward but I imagine there are always bumps in the road. How are you feeling today?

Glad to hear everyone is doing good. I had band removed and sleeve done on 10th. I am having a hard time getting the Protein Drink down. Sore some, but feeling better. I had to stay an extra night due to nausea and dry heaves. Taking it day by day

Mine was the 12th. I went home the same day and also started vomiting all they way home and it lasted until the next day. I seem to be feeling worse rather than better. Getting around today I have been a little short of breath and need to sit down. I too am having trouble getting all of my liquids in as it causes bubbles and chest pain. Ready to be 6 months post op and all of this to be a distant memory!!

OMG your story sounds just like mine.same day and I was leaving IV pole wheel skid marks in the hallway..lol. and when I got home.. WAP! Worked the kinks out and now doing laps in my yard! Only wish I could have a bm already! Feel pretty good other than that and discomfort in sleeve. Hope it all continues to go well for you!

Gas x helped me with the bubbles. I'm so sorry it still hurts:(

I had mine 11/9 and have been doing pretty good, each day gets better. The first couple days I had a headache but it's been ok since then. I am finding that it's a struggle to get my Protein and liquids in (my doc wants 90 ounces liquid and 90 grams of protein)

My Surgery is Tomorrow, Nervous and Excited all at once. Any last minute advice?

Best of luck! I would recommend walking in the hospital as much as possible, it will help get rid of the gas they use during surgery. ????

Thank you...I will do!! I was also told to buy mylicon for the gas from my nutritionist I hope it can't be any worse than having a c section ????

Definitely not worse than a c-section but if you remember how it felt when you would stand up from the sitting or laying position it sorta feels like that for a few days because of your incisions ????

I'm having this same issue. Apparently I was supposed to wait before starting my Vitamins. I started mine the next day. I wish my info was more clear cut.

Had mine the 11th. My biggest issue is getting everything sorted out like Vitamins and shakes and when I need to be doing what. I am looking for someone to keep in contact with if anyone needs a buddy.

      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!
