Well I can say... I have not had reflux in 2 days. So it is worth it. Reflux getting worse was my biggest concern but luckily I have a great surgeon!

So funny thing... my doc sent me email with pictures from the surgery. uMmm I might wait a few weeks before I look at those

It isn’t that bad... it is worth the discomfort for the long term goals. I had a double hernia repair likely reason for the increased pain. Think positive

Day 2 less than 24 hours post op, sleep most of the day in my own bed? up every 2 hours to walk. Slowly drinking fluids was able to get 40oz in... some residual pain in upper abdomen not as bad as Michael Tyson punch I was feeling yesterday. Took 1 oxy last evening @4pm and 1 this morning @ 7am, still with some nausea but it passes pretty quickly. Vick’s vapor rub helps with that. I went into clinic this am for scheduled IV therapy feel much better. I’m thinking I will survive ? my hubby is calling me a trooper. Happy and positive thoughts to all!

My surgery is same day surgery center- after few hours, up walking, able to sip and hold down fluid, you are discharged. I live in Las Vegas. People from all over the country come to this practice to get this procedure done. They call it fast track. In 5 days get all testing done Psychological is done on line, ULTRASOUND IF NEEDED, EKG, STRESS TEST, EGD, BLOOD WORK, NUTRITION CONSULT, VGS SURGERY, IV THERAPY NEXT DAY then return home. The surgeons have been here for years, they have perfected the process, the patients absolutely get door to door service. Hotel, private car service to and from all appointments. ? Of course I live here so I completed my process over few weeks. Good Luck tomorrow , remember go into procedure with happy positive thoughts ?

VGS Surgery tomorrow 12/10/18 @ 0745… getting excited, nervous, all at same time.
