1 Day Post Op

Well, my surgery went well. Happy Valentine's Day to me!! I didn't have any problems with nausea. Yesterday, it didn't hurt too bad, today I have more pain and swelling in my stomach. It's hard to get comfortable. I'm back on the clear liquids and can start protein shakes tomorrow. Overall, the experience was better than I anticipated. I go back to my doctor and to work on Tuesday.

Oh, almost forgot that yesterday afternoon they did an upper GI test. I had to swallow some barium, but the doctor let me watch it go down to my stomach and through the band. It was kind of cool!

I'm at home now, after one night in the hospital. Already picked up meds from the pharmacy and took a shower as soon as I got home. Just trying to rest at this point. Hoping each day feels better.
