Congrats!

So Monday was the big day! I got up early. Took my second shower in 6 hours with antibacterial soap, woke up my husband and got ready for my day. I slept surprisingly well for the night before. He didn't. My mother-in-law came in, we got our daughter up a few minutes earlier than normal. Then I made lunches for the kids and my husband started dinner for that night for them in the crockpot. While all this my parents had come and brought my husband Breakfast.

Now we were out the door. The drive was about a 45 minute one. We arrived and got into a little scuffle regarding what the security/valet guy had said (apparently loud enough the whole lobby heard, this is somewhat unusual for us . We went upstairs and they whisked me back to pre-op.

They weighed me and according to their computer and BMI calculator (which put the notes in my hospital notes for the insurance) my BMI was EXACTLY what it needed to be to be covered by insurance. Thank the Lord! I was worried I had lost too much weight. Which will be the last time you will ever hear that from me.

They put this gown on me that hooks up to this air hose that blows warm air into your gown. I'm not a fan of warm air as it makes me sick. They started my IV. My family finally got to come back to see me. They gave some relaxing meds and off I went.

The procedure itself was only about 35 minutes. The doctor told my family it went great.

I'm rather sore, more so than I was prepared for honestly. But I've been trying to get up and get around a bit here and there to help my recovery and prevent blood clots. I'm also staying on top of my pain meds and ice packs are my best friends. It feels like a really bad muscle tear.

So far, I've had one nausea event with chicken broth. I'm trying to stay as hydrated as possible as well.

Sounds like your doing great. Remember to take care of yourself now. Rest and heal.

If you have nausea again.... My doctor sent me home with a nausea patch so I wouldn't get it. It is tough but you are on the other side now. Get lots of rest. I was feeling bad the first 3 days and thought I was a looser as a lot of people were saying it was super easy. But, as of day 4 yesterday I have turned a corner. Feeling more like the old me everyday..Just a bit lighter daily! Good luck and keep us posted...

Hey Scorpiolady how are you doing? it is so hot already!!!!

azhoselady - thank you for that. I was thinking that too. Everyone was saying it was so easy. The gas pains hit tonight. I didn't find the gas x strips but the chewables. My hubby just ground one up and put it in a scoop of applesauce to help me try to get rid of it.

Hoping I turn the corner soon

Thanks everyone
