Day one and doing great!



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery yesterday I was exhausted! Could not even play on my phone. Slept all day off and on, not even interested in TV. Today I'm home and feeling fine. Uncomfortable and rough when I get up, but it is all worth it. Three full weeks after meeting with the surgeon and I'm done. What was excitement is now shock! ????I really did it. I'm unstoppable!

Make sure you do get up and walk around frequently, even if it's only a little bit at a time.

I second the walking. We had to walk 2 miles in the hospital (20 laps) before we could go home. Walking will help so much. Glad you are doing well!

Wow! That was really a quick pre-op! How did you manage that?? Whatever you did, Welcome to the Losers' Bench! Rest a wee bit, take a deep breath and then--GET UP AND MOVE!!!

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
