Post Op 1 week today

[Chinadoll7075@gmail.com 3]

I knew that there was a possibility that I would have my gall bladder removed at the same time of my sleeve surgery but I got an unexpected curve ball. I also had a Hiatal Hernia that did not show up during my pre op testing. So I had three procedures done altogether. I am thankful though. Was in a lot of pain when I woke up but thank God for pain killers. I am home now and I have no more nausea like before my surgery. I am still having mild heartburn early in the morning time but I am guessing that is still gas from the surgery. Trying to walk as much as possible in circles to heal quicker and get rid of this gas buildup, The only pain I actually start having yesterday was pain generating across the top of my stomach. Called the nurse and she said it could be scar tissue from me trying to heal, don't really know. Only had to take my liquid Hydrocodone once today. Have already lost ten pounds. For some reason I got sort of depressed today, I do not know why, Is this normal?

I’m one week today too (rny) and also had my gallbladder out. It sounds like you are doing great! I’ve still got some pain where my incisions are and a little gas but it’s much improved. I’m only taking my pain meds at night now. Stomach is a bit touchy at times but most things I’m tolerating.

Yeah, first couple of nights I could barely get out of the bed because of the incisions. Hopefully the pain that I feel crossing the top of my stomach is just gas. Will see my surgeon tomorrow. Good luck to you. Maybe after a couple of weeks, we will be on top of the world.

Totally normal to suffer depression in the early post op period. Estrogen is released with rapid weight loss. It is hormonal.

Hang in there. It does get better.

Thanks so much, I feel better already, To bad I can't take an Estroven. I will hang in there,😉
