Good morning. Well I guess I will start by introducing myself. My name is Minnie and I'm from Ga. I had my surgery on 1/4/17. It was in Gainesville, Fl with Dr. Jeffery Friedman. I must say my hospital experience in Gainesville was great . My husband and I were treated great by the whole hospital staff. The one fear I had was that I would be up there having to beg for pain medicine but that didn't happen. My Dr. made sure I was comfortable. They said my surgery went fine. First night, I was in so much pain and I was so sick to my stomach. The nurse kept saying it was normal to feel the way I was feeling but I was so sick and I could not stop dry heaving and that was hurting my stomach like crazy . Late that night when I finally was able to get throw up, it was horrible, I started throwing up blood and it scared me to death . They said it was normal, then I started passing more blood through my bowels and I was getting weaker and so dizzy I wasn't able to get up and walk around as suggested. Well I lost 3 units of blood and had to have a blood transfusion. That helped more than anything. So once the new blood was given to me I was much better. I was able to come home on day 4. Couple days after being home the bleeding stopped and other than my BP staying a little high, I think things went back to normal for me. I was unable to tolerate the main medicine given to help with constipation so that was another little issue but that is starting to get better too. I have absolutely no regrets in what I did. I am able to tolerate most all soft food right now. So far I haven't over eaten yet and I'm doing ok with my fluids. I am struggling to make sure I get my Protein but I'm trying. As far as my weight, so far that's been amazing to me. I started my weight at the day of my pre-op which it was 198. On the 17th when I went for my follow up it was 178. I am great with loosing 20 lbs in 28 days. I just hope and pray all goes well. I don't see how it could not go well because I got my mind ready to do this. I did not gain this weight overnight and I won't lose it overnight. My plan is to stray strong no matter what. This surgery has given me the confidence I have needed to make this happen. 2017 will be the year that after 32 years, I will no longer be over weight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
