I had surgery on 2/17/12 at Baptist Hospital in Memphis, TN with Dr. Woodman. A little sore today but not too bad. I am starting at 295. Ready to change my life

home by 10:30? no way. My surgery was at 715, i woke up at 940 and was still out of it at 1230. I did not get up to walk until 2 and left at 3

had mine feb 17

So I begin Day 4. I have been only in mild pain, have had no issues swallowing and able to drink clear protein shot, zero calorie gatorade, broth, jello and actually drank some coffee with a splash of Fat free creamer. Actually walked 55 minutes this morning. ON my pre-surgery appt I weighed 303, on my surgery day 2 weeks later I was 295 and as of today I am 285. I know it will not be this easy for long but I am truly blessed how well I have done. 90 pounds to my goal weight.

i had surgery 2/17 also. Trying to rush to full liquids? How are you feeling? I feel pretty good myself.

i feel good

went in at 5;15am, they took some blood, checked my vitals, had me change and took me down to pre-op. At about 7:00am they took me in and put me to sleep. I opened my eyes at 9:30am. They brought me to recover with my wife around 10am. At about 12:30pm they had me get up and try to use the bathroom and drink. I was dizzy so they laid me back down. Got me up again at 1:45 and had me drink a cup and 1/2 of water. I was still dizzy but they made me stay in the chair and did a breathing treatment. About 2:30pm they got me dressed and had me walk. I was discharged at 3:15

i had mine yesterday and i have been able to drink fluids, gellatin, popsicles. i am sore but ok. I take small sips

i had mine yesterday, paid out of pocket and am ready for the journey ahead.

good luck, had mine 2/17/12 in memphis
