My husband had sleeve surgery tonight. It finished around 7. He was in so much pain when he got out. It was awful to watch. The nurses assured me he would be feeling better. Ugh! I stayed until 12:30, and I felt guilty leaving him. I'll go back as soon as I wake up in the morning. I don't have a question as much as I just needed a place to write how awful it was. :( I'm sure it will be better tomorrow though. FIngers crossed!

It's always so hard to see our loved ones in pain...we feel so powerless. He will get through this, and every day it gets better. Just your being there is so important.

For me, the day of surgery and the first two days after were pretty awful. After that, I rebounded very quickly. Hopefully this will be the case for your husband.

Best wishes for you both!

Not to worry he will feel better. within minutes of getting out of surgery i vomited up black (old blood) in front of my mother and was begging for pain medication. she looked terrified. within 6 hours of that I was up and going to the washroom and that evening I was walking laps (slowly) around the floor. It improves pretty quickly.

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words. He is feeling a lot better today. It was really scary yesterday. I'm lucky that his mom was able to come up and spend some time with him tonight, so I could come home and relax a bit. He is still in pain, but not at the 10 where he was yesterday. The meds brought him to a 3-4. Whew!

I can't tell you how much you helped me! <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.

        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!
