So yea.... Hi I had surgery on 10-14-2013. Had the NF and a large HH repair. I have felt pretty good all and all. Lately I have been having some bouts with nausea. I could be eating or doing nothing....
Btw, The hiccups will pass. That's just your diaphragm irritated from being moved or healing from a HH repair if you had one. It gets better...
Hello, I am a 36 year old male. I know what you are feeling. I regretted the surgery for about 2 weeks after because of eating and odd pains. It was horrible, but it does pass. I needed the surgery...
So I am a month and 4 days post op. Eating and swallowing has gotten better and I am not losing weight any longer as I am getting enough calories down. Does swallowing still improve from this point?...
Sorry you have that. I hope you feel better soon....
I can swallow pretty well. I still get a slow down and a few things stuck randomly. Stomach usually feels weird in the morning and bowels are all over the place. That stuff should all work itself...
One month today.... Still alive and still improving. Thanks to all that have helped me to get here....
Tomorrow will be a month for me. Recovery has it's ups and downs, but my body is doing great. The only problem I had was the mental aspect of it. I'm 36 and have 2 young daughters in which I cannot...
I had the same problem as you. As soon as I woke up from surgery my sinuses were better instantly better. It was a bonus for me....
Hello smart people who know more than I. I have this intense pressure in my tailbone area... Could it be constipated? I had a small BM today and I just assume with a limited diet my BM's will be...
Hey Matt, I went to my Ent yesterday and he looked at my vocal chords. It was the first time in a year and a half he said they were not red. I'm sure yours are the same. My voice is still weak. He...
Thank y'all so much, today was the first fully manageable day without many panic attacks lol. The crackers did help me get through the day without a maalox milkshake.. Lol Y'all's support means more...
Update day 24: Went to my ENT doctor today. He said my vocal chords are not red at all. That is the first time in a year he has said that. He said they are swollen because of the surgery, and I have...
Thank you for the tip...I ate a couple this morning so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Physically I feel fine, if I could get my stomach and bowels to be good...I would feel a ton better mentally....
I hope it clears up for you. I'm glad you got to eat something you enjoy... I can't wait until I am there. Have a good evening!...
Thank you, when did you notice your stomach quit hurting or burning, mine started a few days ago like I said... So hoping it doesn't last long. And one more question... When did you start feeling...
Thank you.... I have never needed much positive reinforcement until this. I wish I could repay all of you somehow, so I will just add you all to my nightly prayer list. I hope we all recover well....
Ok, this has been whippin my mind the last few days because its a new symptom I did not have before. It seems to only hurt in the mornings when I wake up or try to eat something. The evenings I do...
My surgeons office said that they think I have a touch of gastritis. Told me to drink Maalox. It seems to hurt in the morning, but not in the afternoons as much. I don't know about this, but I will...
Thank you ladies, I am feeling better today with the thrush. It seems to be going away with the meds. The last few days I have had some burning sensation in my stomach that does eventually go away,...
Well that is awful tasting meds. I guess whatever makes it go away. Went back to mash potatoes tonight and seemed to help my stomach. Thanks for all your help today Steph-...
Thanks... Recovery sucks. When did your stomach start feeling normal? Mine hurts pretty good today, and it hasn't been. Seems like today is a frustrating day for me....
Surgeons office said I have thrush. Weird, never heard of it. They are calling in meds for me now. Hope it fixes it....
No, I'm not on any meds at this time.... It's frustrating...
I just took one, thanks. With all your expertise... Did your tounge do anything weird? Mine gets a weird coating time to time that is a little gross....
Question.., sorry for them all. Today my stomach is burning. Like its on fire. Do not have any reflux pain... Just a burning stomach. Did you get this? It's making me nervous...
I hope to one day be able to burp. That would make me feel so much better I think. I can burp from my esophagus, but I can't from my stomach. I hope one day....
If there was a way to send all of y'all flowers or cookies I would. I get stressed out sometimes and I know it's all normal, I just need some reassurance. Thank y'all for helping me. 3 weeks today....
Good luck. Hope it's nothing serious....
So question for all the smart people. How many weeks did it take for swallowing to feel normal. Tomorrow is 3 weeks for me and I still feel food going through the wrap. Hopefully this is still normal...
Rest, you cannot get enough rest at this point. I am 20 days today and slept a lot today. If your tired .... Rest...
That is wonderful news. I hope to do that one day'...
Anyone get a thick yellow gross kinda tounge? I heard it was from losong weight fast but not sure... Any suggestions?...
Today my body feels pretty good but I am extremely tired even after getting 9 hours of sleep. On a positive and probably gross note... Day 19 was a normal BM day. That's the first one post op. That...
Are you still on pain meds? That will keep the poop party from happening...lol. My doc told me to take milk of magnesia to help. It seemed to. I am 3 weeks on Monday and still not completely regular,...
Hey, its better than the acid bath my vocal chords were in, and its a better thing to deal with long term. A little stomach movement is ok as long as I can talk...
I get them also, but I am only 18 days out. They do not hurt, just feels like my stomach is moving around in some weird positions. It is the part that makes me feel abnormal. I cant wait until I go a...
Hello, I was really just making a joke. I tend to do that when stressed about something. Thank you for your kind words. It was your thread that gave me a positive outlook on this surgery and that I...
Happy pre-birthday. I hope you get to feeling better. Your post a positive and have helped me keeping my head straight about having my surgery. Thank you for that....
It's the easiest test you will do. You will be under light sedation.. And they give you another drug that will relax you and you won't remember.. Literally nothing to this test. Relax... This is a...
There is a club? Are there member dues?.... Lol...
I was a 25 before my fundo... So far it had fixed mine. Yours is the biggest score I have seen....
Today, I feel better. My body feels better and my "insides" seem to be acting normal. I positive spot in a long situation....
Good luck....
Yea, I am back at work, but I have an office job. It's better today. My surgeons office told me to get a good multi vitiman and drink Gatorade to help with the nutrients and electrolytes I am...
Hello all, I am just a little over 2 weeks post op. Recently I have been really having some leg fatigue And they seem to fall asleep easily. Is this just my Body healing from surgery? Thanks for any...
I have been reading Dencha's thread. It's quite comforting. The recovery process for this is harder than I expected....
yes, I still have some of that. Hopefully it will lighten up soon. The Doctor said that could take weeks to get better....
Still have drainage today. I have noticed that my legs seem to fall asleep pretty easy. Has anyone else done this? Its a little strange....
Voice not as good today and have some drainage. Saw the surgeon today and he says LPR symptoms take several weeks to start healing.... Hope he is right...
