Thanks! I am home now. The pillow for the Car ride home is a genius idea. Btw

My pain has mostly subsided. Only some in my upper left abdominal area. Got some Jello and diluded apple juice Taking it super slow. I didnt get a morphine pump. I was a little disappointed. But the nurse was really good at bringine me a dose every hour or so.

Doctor came and checked on me. Said all loked good. I get to go home soon

Waiting on results for swallow test

My surgeon is awesome. And only requires one night. He likes keeping cost low.

I am finally post op! Haven't been able to sleep much between nurses every hour and my friend snoring. Lol nothing but ice chips yesterday. And I have my swallow test in two hours/! So glad to be on the losers bench!

I have been walking around. For ten min every hour

Hey all my surgery went well. Been in and out of sleep. I do have a bit of pain. But not a lot of gas. I should be able to come home tomorrow!

My surgery is in 18 hours. I can feel my jitters coming.

Just go in with a positive attitude and you'll be fine!

Congrats!

I know, IT's just frustrating.

My parents are suddenly antiRNY. After a year of preparing for RNY they are now, with only two days to surgery all "Why don't you get the sleeve, less complications with the sleeve, are you sure you want to have surgery, You won't be able to eat that little, you're too young, huge lifestyle change, you won't be able to handle it, So and so had RNY and nearly died, So and so had the sleeve and they lost (blank) weight." And I'm like WHY NOW? OVER A YEAR AND NOW YOU'RE VOICING ALL OF THIS NOW! WTF??? I snapped tonight and I say "I'm doing this, it's my decision. If you were this concerned, why didn't you voice this a year ago when I started this whole thing and told you the options. This surgery is my choice and I've made my decision, and I'd like you to support that. End of story." Of course, we all have parents and know it wasn't the end of story. They are still trying to sway me, But I'm standing firm. Thank you for ready my little rant.

Thursday.

When I first started my journey I was with this my ex. I spent a weekend at my parents, thats when they told me my insurance covered the surgery. I was so excited and couldn't wait to tell him. When I did he was furious that I would even suggest "the easy way out" and we faught all night i wouldnt conceed to his opinion. Over the next two months I had doctors appointments and tests and all thats jazz. Every day he would complain about the money and time I was wasting. And I would brush him off. Eventually it wore on us and we fought more and more and eventually we split. Try to make him understand that it is your health and it is up to him if he wants to stick around and help you with your health.

Welcome to the forums. There are several people on heee getting revised also. Lota of support and advixe. Best of luck!
