Today was my surgery!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery today n when I woke up it felt like I was having a heart attack. Chest pains was unbelievable. Still dosing in and out all I could remember me saying,"Help, Help". I can't breathe. My chest was hurting so bad with every breath I took. They did a ekg, n checked my cardiac enzymes to make sure it wasn't my heart. But they were sure it was gas. Since then my chest pains have gotten better but still hurts. All I want to do is burp. A big loud burp. But I can't. Other then that everything went well. Not in much pain in my stomach. N I have been sleeping all day .

That was me except the pain was gas in my stomach and I was asking for pain meds! I kept asking if he actually did the procedure. I was in disbelief it actually happened!

I would love to burp right now! Unfortunately I can't.

I slept so much I didn't eat.

It gets better!

I had my worst gas pains today, 6 days out. My sister had prepared me saying to lift my feet above my head. You can arrange the hospital bed that way. It also helps to lay on your left side. I have to say, lifting my legs up high today really helped ease that brutal pain.

Make sure you are up walking - I had really bad pain in my chest and shoulders and back and the walking helped it a lot! Good luck! I'm only a week out but feeling pretty good!

I am 6 days out and finally the heartburn and bubbling is gone. I can drink easier just had diarrhea after some gaterade. Stick to sugar free and it helped with the diarrhea. Gas x, Mylanta and Zantac helps a lot. I had a egg Soup, I want some scrabble eggs and later some mash sweet potatoes. I have to drink something all the time to stay full. What would be filling I could have?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
