02/11/10 Day 6 Post-Op

Today was my day to go back to work. Not really a bad day. Got really tired after lunch. No pain at all. I'm in Louisiana and it has been snowing all day! Haven't seen a flake since the SnowBowl Independence Bowl in 2000. So the temp started to drop and everybody panicked that the roads would get icy so we left about 3:00. Had a really good day. I would not have believed 3 days ago that I could go to work and feel good doing it!

02/10/10 Day5 Post Op

I knew I had to go back to work tomorrow so I figured I'd better condition myself some. So I did not go back to bed. I showered and got dressed, got in my car and went out. When I got home I was tired, but forced myself to not go to bed. Just watched TV. I made supper for my DH (and my disabled sister-in-law lives with us). I sat down and said I'm done! It wasn't long and I went to bed exhausted. I have very little pain if any. I'm having no trouble at all drinking my clear liquids.

2/7/10 2 Days Post-op

Anxious and ready to go home. Only about a 25 minute drive. Got home about 11:30 a.m. My 2 sweet granddaughters (age 6 & 3) came straight from church to see me. That would make anybody want to get up and dance. (But I didn't). Pretty good rest of the day. Superbowl Sunday. Go Saints! Who Dat! I watched the first half with the fam and then went to bed to watch the second half. Woke up to see the final score! Yea Saints. Had shopped before surgery so had my juice and crytal light and broth and

2/6/10 Day 1 Post-Op

Still in the hospital. Still very nauseated. Can't move for fear of dry-heaving! Doc comes in about 2 o'clock and tell me how well I'm doing:confused1:. He said nausea from anesthesia last from 12-18 hours for those people like me so it should be about done and it was. After nausea passed I really felt okay. They had those things on my lower legs that inflate and deflate. They plug into the bed so I could not get out of bed without help unplugging those stupid things. By evening I was just mad b

2/5/10 Surgery Day 0

Got up early. Excited. Not really than anxious. Supposed to be at hospital by 8:00 a.m. Was told surgery would be 9:30 or 10. Well they didn't come and get me until 11:15. Then in holding for a good bit longer. Lost tract of timeline. I had a pretty good size hiatal hernia that the surgeon repaired as well as the VSG. I awoke in recovery feeling like I could not breathe. I remember I kept saying, "I can't breathe!" And the nurses kept telling me that I was breathing. Heard the doc in the backgro
