That first night was the roughest. I even had to stay a 2nd night due to vomiting. It does get better. Hang in there. Try to get up and walk to get rid of that gas and don't hesitate to ask for pain meds if needed. It is easier to control the pain if you don't let it get out of control to begin with. Hang in it will all be worth it.

Still at the hospital. I can't pass gas but I've become an expert at dry heaving gas.

Milk those meds then!

I remember I was getting offirnev every 6 hours, dilaudid like 4-5 times a day, and the occasional caldolor and Phenergan. I only got the Phenergan once but wow that stuff gets rid of nauseous fast and knocks you the hell out. I didn't have a lot of nausea but thst stuff is magic

It's been rough for me. How about you? I hope all went well for you. I'm really struggling right now and I have been since the surgery was over.




It has really been good. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Just a little gas but I've been walking alot to get it moving.

I've been walking and getting regular pain meds but I think since I had a cold when I came in for surgery that I now have something more serious. I haven't been able to wean off O2 and I don't where O2 at home. So I just think that maybe this whole cold and surgery was a bad idea.

      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!!
