What day did you feel better?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I got sleeved on Friday 11/4 and came home from hospital yesterday. As anesthesia wore off I was taking my liquid pain meds and zofran around the clock yesterday and today. I also have the nausea patch behind my ear. When I got home yesterday afternoon I had a low grade fever, and then another today. I know it's normal, but makes me feel crappy. My c-section took a few days for me to be off of narcotics, but this seems a little worse because I can't just swallow a pill to feel better. Most people have said after three days things will be considerably better. My neck and shoulder are killing me too from the c02. I'm glad I had this done, I'm just wondering what others experienced so I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm pretty uncomfortable! Thanks!

I had surgery on 10/25. They kept me in the hospital for two days. Those were the worst. The 28th I was pretty good. Didn't take any pain or nausea meds after the 27th. Started walking three miles the 29th and was back to work on the 31st (I have a desk job). No problems at all

I was sleeved on 10/26. I was in the hospital for 2 nights, I was not able to pee,so had to have a folly 2 times.

Got out and was back in on the 29th because of fever and dehydration. Turned out I had a uti and c-diff. I have no pain or nausea Everyday is a little bit better. Tomorrow I am going back to work part time. Looking forward to it.

Today has been an excellent day. Keep moving and you will feel better. Good Luck

My surgery was 10/31. I'm still taking pain meds around the clock. I had a 4 day hospital stay and came home last Thursday. Today I did walk to the end of my driveway and I am a little cautious to say this but I feel better tonight than I have since last week.

If you roll your shoulders forward and backward it helps with the gas pain tremendously!

I just had surgery 11/3

      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.

      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!
