I will keep you posted how the surgery goes and how the recovery goes with the hernia surgery. Good luck with yours in August but I'm sure I will hear from you before that take care what would it be

For what it's worth, I had a hernia taken care of in conjunction with a hysterectomy two years ago. That was a fairly major operation--not laparascopic--but the hernia part was almost unnoticeable in terms of how I felt afterwards--other than being glad it didn't stick out any more! Your mileage may vary, of course, but I wouldn't stress about it at all.

This is a hiatal hernia located right at the end of the esophagus and the stomach so it has to be repaired before I can get my sleeve done. Thank you very much for your support looking forward to getting this taken care of next month.

Wow...,so you aren't full liquid yet? I was on liquid right away...premier Protein, Water, sf popsicles, sf Jello and broth. What are you eating now?

Sorry haven't been back here for a while.
I am doing much better, blasting through the full liquids and tempting the purred stage. I am mostly eating the full liquids and puréed Soups. Premier shakes for my protein. I will try cottage cheese today. What are your best protein foods you like? Hope your well.

Since I'm on liquids pre-op I do drink Premier Protein only the chocolates. I've tried many different Proteins and can tolerate them but Premier Protein seems to work. I know post-surgery I'll be on liquids for a while before going to pureed food I'll be very anxious to get some regular food and me even though it's just pureed. Wishing you well speedy recovery..

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
