Sorry to hear that I hope you feel better. I’ll be going through it next week.

I had surgery on February 19th. I have no pain but I am uncomfortable! My stomach gurgles but I don’t know if that means I’m hungry or if it’s gas. I’m trying to get in all the liquids I can, I all of a sudden don’t like Jello (I loved it before surgery). I’d love to try Protein Shakes, yogurt or thinned out oatmeal but I’m only 4 days post op. I have no energy so I lay or sit around with added walking inside the house. My butt actually hurts from laying/sitting so much. Before surgery I wore glasses all the time since surgery everything is blurring when I wear them. I asked about it in the hospital before I was discharged, was told that it should go away as it could be from the anesthesia.

I know things will get better for you! Aside from the gurgles and blurred vision I would say you made out pretty good!

Had sleeve on 2/17 with hiatal hernia repair, and I'm back to work today, feeling good except for some constipation/gas.

Got sleeved on 2/24. Mild discomfort day of surgery and day after. I am home now. 2 small episodes of nausea from Tylenol pills- spit up foam 1 time. Walking, not tired, getting all of my liquids in. Sneezing a lot ( not sure why). Taking Tylenol in powder form to keep pain away. No regrets. No worries.

        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!!
