I have had a rough start to this. I've been having trouble controlling my pain since surgery on May 27th. I finally was able to stop taking the dilaudid the day before yesterday. I was starting to feel better. I have been feeling TERRIBLE all day today. I feel so nauseous (even though I've taken zofran, it improved but didn't go away). I feel light headed and kind of weak. My stomach feels like it's cramping, kind of like a clenching. I have been trying to drink all day. I tried having some puréed food at lunch cuz I thought maybe I was just hungry but it did not help at all. In fact I felt worse after eating. I just want to feel better! I feel so terrible! Any thoughts or tips? I just want it to stop ????

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time getting on track.

I would first suggest that you call your bariatric team, tell them everything that you just posted and let them guide you. They know you better than we do and have the expertise to do something about it.

Sometimes our pain meds can become our enemy. They can raise havoc with our bodies while helping us control our pain. Sometimes our body seems to go into slow motion--including digestion when we are on pain meds. They can also cause severe Constipation.< /p>

If you're concerned enough (rightfully so) to post here, PLEASE give your WL surgeon's office a call.

Post and let us know what they say and how you are feeling.

We care--really we do.

Feel better, friend. :)

Thank you everyone. They kept me overnight in the hospital. I'm still really nauseous even though they keep giving me zofran. The good news is my catscan was fine. They are doing a swallow study tomorrow. So I'll be here atleast another night. I'm hoping my nausea subsides soon because it's awful

      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.
