I slept in the recliner in the living room for about a week. I couldn't get comfortable lying flat in bed. It was probably 3 weeks before I could sleep on my left side - which is my favorite position.
No need for pain pills to sleep, simply take a sleeping pill.

I recently (8/17/16) had Gastric bypass surgery at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. I had the best nurses and doctors anyone could ask for. My surgeon was Dr.David Chengelis. He was absolutely amazing and made sure I was completely aware of everything before surgery. My anesthesiologist team were fantastic and answered my many questions ( I had not been under before). Overall I would recommend Beaumont if you're looking in Michigan!

Going crazy. I just want to eat. I know I know. It's in my head. It's not that I'm craving junk or anything. Literally. Just want to eat. Especially meat. This is very hard. It's such a mental game. Those who are a month or so out... How are you doing now that you can have solids??
I just can't stop thinking about eating. It's sad. But very real.
Surgery day weight 264.5
Current weight 250.5

My husband just had his surgery June 20th. He will be 61 July 5th. He would give anything if at age 40 he had gotten healthy then. We could have probably missed his heart and knee surgery and could maybe be spending our vacation walking on the beach this year. What I am saying is that you need to get your head and heart set on getting healthy. It is a difficult battle to go thru but well worth it. Making your mind up now will save you many health problems later.
My husband was told by a nurse in the hospital that he just added 20 years to his life.
Good luck and keep talking to everyone on this website.. That is what I intend to do as I help my husband thru this..
