This is a great topic! I remember they kept telling me that I was going to have to wake up and then kept piling warm blankets on because I guess I was shivering. I remember not wanting to wake up because I felt nauseated. So my first words were " I'm going to be sick". If they had just let me sleep...LOL!!

I couldn't speak. For real, I could open my eyes for a few moments but I just couldn't speak. I had a real hard time waking up.

I do remember yelling for someone to help me cuz they stuck me in a hallway waiting for someone to move me from xray to recovery. I was alone forever and I had to pee.

My first words was my name and then date, that is what I was asked as soon as I woke up, lol

But, as soon as they were done asking me quesitons, I asked for Water and they told me NO, but swabbed me. After that I just laid back down and slept.

I woke up and said "I need to walk," over and over. Finally a male nurse told me I need to take it easy for a while because of the anesthesia. That's when I started my leg exercises in the bed. Ha ha. I had read so much about blood clots and the importance of walking that it was drilled into my head. :)

I woke up in the recovery room and I asked the time ...it was 230p... 2 hrs after i went into the operating room. The i asked for something to drink. I was told the time and given a large q tip looking thing to suck on....ick. Lol

Then I started sneezing. And I didn't stop for hours. I was miserable!! They finally called my dr and he ordered some benadryl. That knocked me out and I drank the required 8oz of Water, used the bathroom and at 730p they sent me on my way. I slept all the way home.

When I went to the dr for my post op follow up the dr said he had over 600 surgeries and no one woke up sneezing. LOL.

I woke up vomitting. After one of my many boughts I started crying and and said "I'm not allowed to throw up. Is my band gonna be ok?" they assured me I was ok so I went back to sleep. After spending 24 hours in the hospital due to blood pressure complications, I was allowed to go home.

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

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
