Can't sleep..... I have to be at Kaiser Richmond CA at 10:30 in the morning! My actual surgery is at 12:30. I don't really have any support...my mom is taking me and is not very happy with my choice to have my sleeve. " you are losing the weight, why get the surgery!" I am getting my sleeve for my own reasons. I am a single mom. I have 2 children. I am going to turn 44 on June 21st...I will be in the hospital!!! I am not getting any younger. Losing the weight will give me back nine or so more years with my babies!!! Enough said, right? Wish me luck, as I start this journey alone. If I watch one more Gastric Sleeve YouTube video, I may crack....LOL Night... Jona

Am very sick.....I have been throwing up everything. I wish I could hold down my pain meds at least! My tummy hurts from wrenching and dry heaving. I am tired. My surgeon called and said if I can't hold Water down, I would have to go back to Kaiser emergency. Sipping water now.....I sleep and throw up. That is it! Please tell me this will go away quickly... Miserable over here!!!

I am in Berkeley... 3 days post op. feeling horrible!!!

How are you holding up, sweetie? I am doing well....thinking about you!

Afternoon everyone! Well, I had my surgery yesterday! It was awful waking up from the anesthesia- I was sooooo sick, dry heaving with horrible cotton mouth sucks. The nurses gave my everything they had for nausea. Didn't work? Nope...... So, it was a long night of checking my pulse and getting up to pee. They must have filled my abdomen with the Panama Canal! Good new is, I am home. I have a buttload of meds to take. I had the pharmacist make me a meds time sheet. Laying on the couch, sipping chicken broth with horrible gas. I am bloated and get the hiccups every time I get up to walk. Bottom line, I am home, it is over, I am on a new road- just learning to drive slow... Jona

Whaaaaat!!!!!! Good luck!! I will post when I wake up..... Thanks everyone for the courage!!
