Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I'm officially post op!!! Surgery went well, they've had a little difficulty trying to get my pain under control, but other than that it's been good. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of you for the support over the last 10 months. You rock!

Congrats!!! Im 5 days out. Each day gets a tiny bit better. Ive been plagued by a dull headache the last few days. Either its caffeine withdrawl, or i need to increase my Water. I used to slam water bottles preop. Now it is taking me hours to get halfway thru one.

So I'm home and everything is good. I'm a little concerned though, I can pretty much drink all the liquids I want without issue. My biggest, deepest, darkest fear was going through all this effort and the sleeve not working. Maybe it'll be different once I start real food

I was the same way.
I could chug Water without any issue the day after surgery.
I was convinced my doctor made my sleeve too big.
The entire time I was on liquids I felt like my sleeve was too big.
Now that I am on soft foods, I am sure my sleeve is not too big.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
