Finally in my room. Surgery was a success. So far only one minor issue of pain n it quickly alleviated with painkillers. I was told I can leave today if I can pee a certain amt, drink n walk. But I definitely want to stay the night! God forbid I have pain at home n can't manage!

Congrats! I hope the pain is not too bad for you; it seems to vary with every person. I didn't find it too bad; I believe day 2 and 3 were the worst but I didn't even need to take all of the painkillers I was given. Just don't lift anything heavy for the first while, but DO get up and walk about (it helps with the gas pains).

Congrats, hope you start feeling better soon. In the hospital they made me get up and walk 8 hours after surgery. I have been getting up and walking from my bedroom to the familyroom but I get a little dizzy. I feel good otherwise. I am currently feeling sore

I was up and walking to the restroom within a couple of hours after surgery and I went home the same day. Surgery at 8:00am and in the car by 11:30am.

My Dr. makes everybody spend the night and am not allowed to even drink Water. Also the Aides woke us up every couple of hours and made us walk around the floor for 15 minutes!

I went home a few hours after surgery. Didn't really move much the first day though. Slept a lot. Was moving around the next day though.

Yeah, I think I will be too! I really don't feel bad at all. The nurse seems really confident that not much else needs to be done for me here n I guess sleeping in a hospital, which I have never done before, can't be better than ones own bed.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
