Thank you. Hopefully going home today. Have the repeat ugi this morning. Fingers crossed all is moving through

I'm doing ok. Actually still in the hospital. I've had a lot of nausea up until this morning and they don't let you leave with that. At least my Dr doesn't. Because of the swelling the upper gi didn't go as planned. It got stuck in my esophagus. That was at 730 yesterday morning. They took new xrays around 1 and the contrast made it to my small intestines. So i didn't start the liquid diet until last night. So we will repeat tomorrow and hopefully go home. I'm not in a lot of pain. They took my pain drip away last night and I only had one does of oral this morning at 315. It was so gross income refuse to take it again. I was gagging the whole time. And of course I'm exhausted you don't get much sleep in the hospital. It's kinda comical now because every time I fall asleep someone comes in this room to do something to me. Each day is getting better. Last night I could drink a whole lot. Today I'm getting down 2oz at a time.

For being as heavy as I am I was healthy. I had no comorbidities pretty amazing with a bmi of 51. But I was becoming borderline high bp and was also pre diabetic. So i keep telling myself I am doing this to prevent any future weight related illnesses. It's a huge deal and even on the way here yesterday I keep saying to my husband am I doing the right thing? It was more nerves and being nervous about surgery. But I did it and right now am at peace with my decision.

Thanks . Doing ok today.

Carisa I hope you gas pains go away soon! Congrats to you and God bless.

You look fantastic! Congrats to you on your hard work.

Congrats to you! I'm laying in my bed now as well. Got sleeved around 130. Gas isn't bad at all. Had bad nausea when I got up to pee earlier that I threw up for a bit and lots of dry heaves. So they gave me some drugs for that. As long as I stay horizontal the nausea stays away. Have only gotten up twice so far. I was in recovery for 3 hours and then got to my room about 6. Have two incisions and those don't hurt but my abdomen does. Hope you have a great night and get some sleep.

Yes Dr rantis with the Kane center.

Hi all. Everything went well. I was done with surgery To 325 was in recovery until 6 and now I'm in my room.. Feel pretty good other than the nausea. I had dry heaves at first. Then a little while ago threw up a few times. Only have two incision and they don't hurt but my whole abdomen is sore. So far so good. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers today.
