Good Luck to you,
I work in the surgical practice where the Dr is that did my Gastric Bypass almost 13 years ago.
I will be forever grateful to him I have a quality of life I thought I would never have.

May God bless you, your surgeon, and everyone else involved. Praying for a speedy recovery for you.

I live about 45 minutes from where my surgery will be performed and have the same concerns as you. A five hour drive after surgery seems a bit much. Maybe once you leave the hospital you can just spend a few days in a hotel nearby just to heal and be sure everything is okay before you start that long drive. There's also the consideration of how much pain you'll be in, access to bathrooms, winter driving conditions, and if the hospital will even let you leave by yourself. Have a backup plan ready just in case. I've already prayed for your smooth and uneventful surgery and safe passage home.

Thank you so much for the info. Since I failed the at home test I will be going to the overnight study this Sunday 10/1 and will see where I go from there. My last NUT appointment with my PCP is on 10/17/17. This sleep test is my last obstacle and then I can submit my paperwork to Cigna. I'll wear a football helmet to the hospital if I could just get this surgery over with. I am so thankful for all the information and advice everyone has provided.

I drove the second day from surgery and I was fine...my dr only gave me Tylenol for pain after surgery and when I went home...my daughter needed to get to work...I wouldn't call myself irresponsible...I had very minimal pain and no nausea

Thanks for the information. My surgery is not going to be until late October if I'm blessed with the earliest possible date, if not, then it'll be in November.

I sent up a prayer for your date too. God bless.

This surgery is such a blessing from God, of course the enemy is going to try to block it. I hope all went well. Stay strong. May he favor of the lord surround you as a shield.

Praise Jesus. God is so good. I don't mean to get all preachy on you but he makes this happen. I'm glad to see him blessing you and that big beautiful smile of yours. May you continually welcome him to walk with you along this journey. Oh happy day.

You awake yet? Wanted to see how you were doing. Hope its not too painful. May God bless you abundantly.
