Surgery went well yesterday. Ended up with horrible gas pain and extra pain due to my incisions. I had a hernia repair years ago and one of my incisions had to go through some scar tissue. So that may the pain almost unbearable. I felt like I was in labor and could barely get up to walk they way I needed to. It's almost 6am and i'm still in some pain and a little nauseous now. Despite the pain, i'm still happy that I made the decision to have it done.

I had my surgery on 21 June and can tell u that pain would subside by 3 or 4th day. Pls make sure u walk as much as u can. It really helps in lifting mood.
Best of luck...
Thank you and congratulations on a successful surgery. I've been able to do a bit more walking today. Just trying to keep moving despite the pain

That is one of my concerns. I have an appendectomy scar (about 8" long). My surgeon said it should be fine. I'm still worried it will be in the way. Not to mention 2 prior C sections, I'm sure those won't be in the way.

All my incisions were above the navel, due to the fact I had too much scar tissue from other surgeries below the navel. I'm feeling a lot better now though. Just have a little soreness around it and some occasional pains that shot through like a labor pain. You will do fine though. They use an ultrasound to see where and how much scar tissue you have

Hey, Girl. I noticed that you changed your surgery status from pre-surgery to post-surgery FIRST THANG! Woo-hoo. Just one of many exciting changes to come (some more exciting than others, I hope. Some of the changes in the first few weeks after our surgeries are challenging, but we can handle them, right?!!)

Exactly two weeks post-op for me, and the next phase of my post-op diet. Whoopty-blah.

I forgot to ask. Are you home or still in the hospital? I only stayed overnight and was discharged the following day on what my surgeon called a "conditional discharge" -- translation: I had to be able to get up and walk (my favorite part!), drink enough fluids, and juggle three rolls of toilet paper in the air. Just kidding about the second condition, er, I mean the last condition.

      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!!
