Hey all I'm doing well. My surgery was at9:30 am 5/21. I am home and doing well. I have been walking all day. Every hour. The pain was moderate but not unmanageable. The most pain comes from center of chest were I can feel the hernia repair. I have been sipping on water and ice chips all day. I will start broth tomorrow. I have 4 ounce cups so I will sip one very hour. My surgeon sent me home with compression socks for next three days. And a small machine that helps lungs, I am to breath in it every hour. I start liquid anti biotics in the morning. I had Nausea when I woke up from anesthesia but none now. I am sleeping in the bed sitting up. Still walking throughout the night. I will walk out side tomorrow if I can. Okay later everyone. We will see what day 2 brings.

Hello all doing well. Day one wasn't as bad as I thought. I've been on ice chips and water all day. Will start broth. Pain was ,moderate but manageable. Mostly in center of chest from hernia repair. I've been walking al day. Changed drain twice. Wilhelmina you posted.

Ok all, so I had a successful surgery. I experienced pain, but not hat I couldn't tolerate. My threshold is really high. I've been walking all day up and down hall. The worst pain is that i feel the hernia repair. No problems swallowing yet. I've only had water and ice chips so far.

I just checked in. Good luck all!

Thank you so much. I know he will be with me through it all. Yes there are actually sizes. The surgeon determines which one to use. The more weight you have to loose, I think the smaller the sleeve may be. However, they don't vary by much. I'm gonna do all I can to get up and be mobile as soon as they give me the go. Will keep all posted.

Samighair, do you know what size your sleeve is? Who was your surgeon, if I may ask. I'm so happy you did we'll. I am hoping to do well also. How much weight have you lost?

Did a y of you who e pertinence nausea have an anti nausea patch the night before surgery? I'm just curious and did you guys walk the first day? I am praying for all to go smoothly within reason,clearly this is major surgery.

Good luck my lady, I have to be there at 8:00. Pray for me and vice versa. I know all will be well.

Diva, my time is actually tomorrow. I just got the call. I have to be there at 8:00 am. It seemed like such a long process, now it seems like it came so fast, lol. Well tomorrow is the big day. Prayers going up for all having surgery tomorrow.

Just go the call. Tomorrow at 8 am is my time. Good luck to all having surgery tomorrow.

Just got the call. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 am.

You look great and so happy!

You look great!

Good luck to you and your wife. Please keep us updated as we will be thinking of you. My prayers are with us all.

Yep I can tell. You are getting definition around your waste. Hoooorraaayyy!

Yes I've had those. They are really good. Most of the morning star products are awesome! How are you doing 5 weeks out with eating? I've got 1 day left before surgery.

Congrats!! Great job!

Wow teemarie I'm sorry to hear that as I know that support is important. I'm sure he is just concerned about you and just wants you to be safe. He is probably also concerned that you may change with this change. However he has to consider that it was a little selfish to tell you something like that the night before surgery which just places added pressure. I'm sure once you are in recovery phase he will be more understanding. It's hard living in the bodies we are in wether its our fault or not. No one REALLY understands unless they have personally dealt with this issue. My prayers are with you. Keep us posted.

My study was an at home study. The mailed me a device that I had to use for 3 days and send back. It was simple. Then I picked up my CPAP from a local office. I hate the thing but it does help me sleep better.

One more day of clear liquids before the big day! It was a little tough. I can't imagine not being hungry ans only being filled up by a couple of bites of food, but I shall soon see. It's almost like a dream. Good luck to those having surgery tomorrow.

@@skinnygirlwithin, wow that must have been scary! I'm so happy to hear that you are ok now. That's great!

I just remembered after I pushed the button. I won't forget Darth Vader, lol lol.

I've got basic. Chapstick, gas X strips, extra underwear, phone charger, pillow. I'm wearing loose sweatpants and shirt, slip on crocs so I don't have issues with shoes. Not taking too much as we won't be there long.

Prayers with you both. Keep us posted. Be blessed.
