Recommended Posts

I am new to this and am looking for some support going through this rather difficult time. I am 2 wks post op and I am feeling kind of regretful. I know this is a life altering procedure that I thought I was prepared to handle but I can't seem to get rid of the nausea and the discomfort of the knot that sits below my chest even after just sipping Water. Any suggestions?

South Jersey here and just one week out! 10/17/17 no nausea no pain just a little sore. Heading back to work tomorrow. Sorry you're having a tough time but I think it will pass! Sip sip sip tiny sips! Also I added a 1/4 cup Apple juice to about a cup of Water. Makes it easier for me to drink.

Don't regret it! Take smaller sips, or suck on ice. I was sleeved in December and I had the same problem up to the point where I was in and out of the hospital frequently for dehydration. That stopped about after 7 weeks out. Now I'm almost a year and almost at my goal already.

You'll get through it! No worries. Feel better.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
