Finally Post op! Still in Hospital and ready to go home



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery16 hours ago and I feel pretty good! The gas pain from the co2 they pump into you is pretty bad but surgical pain is not that bad. I'm sure it will feel a little worse in a couple days. I have walked quite a bit to get the gas to dissipate and the pain meds help. Still nothing to drink!! But my surgeon doesn't allow Water to even touch my lips till later today. With that being said let me get to the things I'm glad I brought and what I wish I brought. So glad I brought my Chapstick, my iPad, and pajama pants. What I wish I brought was my own pillow. :(

Congrats!!

Ask for another pillow. I was able to rest comfortably with a pillow on my side.

For me the waiting to drink was the worst! I couldn't drink until my endo the day after surgery. My mouth was so dry and my throat was so sore. Once I could drink I felt so much better.

Welcome to the losers bench!

Yes! At 7 months out I am very pleased with my progress! It's been slow at times but overall I can't complain.

Thanks!!

      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.
