Surgery this month, wife threatening divorce

Surgery went well. Came home this past friday. Haven't been feeling too great since then. Constant pain in my chest when I sip something. One incision on my right side hurts like hell. So I cant really bend.

I feel bad because I told her I would bounce back quickly when I got home.

So glad your surgery went well!! Try drinking room temperature drinks. Water, Protein Shake, etc. Warm broth too. Warmer liquids don't seem to give that chest pain as much.

The incision on your right side is probably the one they removed your stomach from. My upper right incision actually hurt so bad about a week and a half after surgery that I went to my surgeon's office to have them check it out. I was worried I messed up something internally. They said it's normal and just the muscle repairing itself and it will be the most sore.

Don't feel bad for taking the appropriate time needed to recover. It's better you take the time now needed to get better rather than rush things and end up hurting yourself and not having a choice.

Best of luck on your weight loss journey and I hope your wife starts being more supportive! I've been very fortunate that my fiance has supported my decision.

      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!!
