I made a mistake.



Recommended Posts

Yes I did. And I still do. At first, it was the horrible gas pains in my neck and left arm that was unbearable. I think the gas pains are gone. But now I'm so tender and sore in my belly and legs. Every time I breathe deeply, talk, stand up, sit down, I hurt. I don't know why my legs are cramping this much.

Great news! How are you feeling - any pain? Did you have any right after the procedure? Details! lol

Hey everyone. I'm back home from staying in the hospital after surgery. Everything went great. :D

Is it the gas they use to expand the belly for laparscopic surgery? I'm pretty sure I got that when I had my appendix out but I don't remember any gas pain - maybe the morphine helped with that! Weird about your legs - did you ask them why? I can see the incision areas hurting though. I know you help to sit down and stand up - didn't they tell you this?

It could be some of the gas. I didn't ask them why. I made a statement about my legs hurting, but they ignored me. They didn't tell me I would need help standing up.

So glad to hear everything went great!

I screwed up on my pre-op diet and cheated twice. Once with caviar and another time with a little sashimi. I was nervous, but addressed it with my surgeon and my surgery went fine as well.

@@Hiraeth Get some fluids with electrolytes. Move as much as you can - even if you just rock back and forth. Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

I think my legs hurt because I'm dehydrated. (Weird since I was hooked up to an IV most of the time. It probably has nothing to do with the IV, though, lol.) I may go take a night walk since it's too hot right now. Good thing I live in a nice neighborhood. :)

      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!
