Had Surgery Monday - Little bit sore



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks:

I had my surgery on Monday. Didn't sleep a wink at the hospital because my roommate was a serious case! She called everyone under the sun until at least 3:00 a.m.

I'm doing ok but the gassiness is something. feeling a little constipated and its hard to sleep flat. I feel like I can't breathe when i'm flat. I'm doing better sleeping in a sitting position. Hope this isn't for always.

Thanks!:ranger:

Hi MissNilsa, congrats on your surgery. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow, I am feeling a little scared so I came onto the forum to help ease the fear and I am glad I read your post, it made me feel better hearing that you are doing well after surgery. Thank you, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hi MissNilsa~

I was just banded yesterday, and am a bit sore as well. You're right though, I think the gassiness is about the worst. I've heard it passes after day 1, so I have my fingers crossed. :blush:

Hi, MissNilsa!

I am glad you are doing well. I had surgery Monday too. I didn't sleep, either. I had a private room, but still got no sleep. I am not constipated, I have the other problem! I am doing great at home. Minor pain at port site and some gas. I have been walking as much as I can. That helps. :whoo:

Good luck with your recovery! Keep us updated!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
