I've just been checked in for surgery. I go into prep at 6:30am and surgery is at 8:30am. Wish me luck!!

I've been too sleepy and in pain to update so far, but here's what happening. Surgery was yesterday morning (7.27.15) at 8am. Got back to my hospital room around 1:30. Took my first lap at 6pm. Hurt really bad getting up and I was quite nauseous. Been urinatung pretty well with the catheter, urine is finally clear. Went on my second and third laps at 10pm then just now around 2:30. A little hard sleeping at first with the compression boots but I've been so tired due to pain medication that its no longer a problem. They had to stick me with needles 4 times and failed all for an IV until IV the came in and got it on the next try. Woke up with a second IV and its been fine until about an hour or two ago which is when it started swelling and itching. Nurses said it will be fine. Pain level currently is probably 6/10. The staff here is super nice and I'm as comfortable as I can be. Only slight drainage from a few incisions which is normal so I'm doing pretty well. I finally started ice chips around 10 last night. Things are pretty good.

I just downloaded this app. I've been looking for people to talk to about this and so far this app is a great place!! So I'm having my vsg surgery Monday (7.27.15) and I know the doctors tell you what to expect and such, but I would like to know what your experience was in the hospital. Like when they take you back for surgery and after? How long were you in hospital? How well did things work? And other stuff you wanna throw in there. ????
