I just got up and got dressed out of the hospital gown. I woke up in an unexpected amount of pain, and was crying in recovery. They given me enough pain medication to keep it a tolerable amount. Called my kids and talked to them earlier.

Hang in there. I am sorry to hear of your pain.

Sorry you're in pain - Hopefully it subsides soon! If you're able... walk walk walk - If it's gas pain, that will help more than you can possibly imagine. FYI, it feels really strange to start walking and burping - It's not a painful burp, more of a quiet release of air.

They have given me a steady amount of medication for pain. That's been helpful. I've walked around the unit twice now and it does feel good. 💚

        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!!
