Have I Turned A Corner?

Today I am 6 days post surgery and have lost 29 pounds in the last three weeks. This past week has been a total adventure, complete with all the ups and downs. My surgery went well and my one night hospital stay was uneventful. Doctor and nurses were all very pleased. When I came home, I noticed that I was spitting up. Not vomiting but spitting up a little froth. Called the doctor and was told that was saliva. My stomach was swollen and didn't know what to do. Interesting. Hadn't heard that

48 Hours Post Op - Very Surprised And Pleased

Having read quite a bit pre-surgery, I knew there would be many different possibilities post-surgery. So far, my story has been a best case senerio. At the hospital, I walked quite a bit and the nurses were quite pleased with the amount and speed I walked. I think, because of this, I have no gas pains at all. Had a gallbladder surgery 12 years ago and my wife said I had terrible gas pains.   The pain I do have is in my chest which my doctor said is due to the hiatal hernia repair I had but

Had Surgery Today

Had my sleeve surgery this morning. So far, so good. Have been up walking. (Nurses say I sprint down the halls.) Gas pain has not been bad at all but abdominal pain was intense earlier but not bad at all now. Trying to keep an upbeat attitude and the nurses are very happy with my progress.

Thank you to all of you for the incredible i

When Will I Have Energy?

One of the reasons I decided upon the surgery was for more energy. I have so much to do at work and things to do at home and no energy to get them done. I'm not a workaholic and feel I have a fairly balanced life. However, when I get home from work, I'm pooped. Forget about doing anything. My surgery is July 16 and I'm on the pre-surgery liquid diet. It is a chore to do anything now, at work or home. My front flower garden is overgrown with weeds and really needs attention. Ug.   My la

Just Started My Pre-Surgery Diet

It's two weeks to surgery (July 16) and I've begun my pre-surgery diet. It started yesterday and work today has been a bit interesting with my stomach growling and the constant headache. Sure hope this passes soon. I must confess to be quite excited by the surgery and at the same time simply terrified. I've been thinking and researching surgery for several years but insurance would not pay for it. I finally had enough and decided to pay for it myself. Glad I waited as the sleeve surgery wa
