So I had my surgery on 10/10 and was super nervous. The surgeon said everything went very well and he also repaired my hernia. I was in a lot of pain but the pain pump was a savior. I am a stomach sleeper and sleeping on my back in a hard hospital bed was THE WORST. I hate hospitals. You can never rest, always in and out and the lights are SO bright. Luckily the staff was great and that made it better. Had my leak test and no leak so started drinking Water. Water was giving me heartburn but Crystal Light actually helped me get it down a lot better. I had a few breaking points of crying, just being frustrated, hoping I made the right decision, being in pain, headache from sleeping on my back, but today, 4 days out I'm feeling much better. I'm getting in my fluids and most of my Protein, although that's been really hard. Finally able to sleep on my belly a little and have been to a couple of stores walking around. The diet is difficult but I know it's only temporary. So far, I'm going great and hope to continue on this path. This forum helped prepare me on what to expect and gave me a lot of perpectives. Just wanted to share my experience thus far.

So my surgery is 10/10/12 and I'm SO nervous. I've never had surgery before. I am nervous about being put under and dying! I know that's unlikely and I'd be worse off obese but I just want to wake up! I'm nervous about recovery but I know I can do it and it'll be worth it in the end. I guess I just need some more support right now.
