Getting Banded This Thursday- Question

[GodsTyro 63]

We're you still pretty loopy after surgery or were you pretty coherent after waking up and heading home?

Wondering what to expect

[zinhaa 363]

i was loopy in the recovery but fine after that. I stayed over

[wildrose1966 396]

I was lathargic when I first awoke, dazed on the drive home and okay once I got home, stayed up all day, no naps.

I stayed over night. By the time I got out of the recovery room, I was pretty coherent though.

I did spend one night in the hospital; but I was very aware of everything about 2 hours after surgery. I walked around the hospital several times without assistant, went the bathroom with no help, etc.

I was up and moving about 2 hours after surgery. I felt groggy but not totally out of it.

I was pretty groggy afterwards. I also stayed overnight, but by the time I got into my room, it was about 4 pm and I was pretty out of it. Needed to ask for assistance to go potty every couple hrs tho, cuz I had compression stockings on and needed help hooking back up to them. I probably could have done it myself tho, if it wasn't for the gadget. Got morphine via iv every 4-6 hrs, I think. Walked the hallway that night with the nurse. Went home by 11 am the next day, after getting my barium swallow test done.

I was awake enough to say was my liver skinny and listen to the Dr . laugh yes, I stayed overnight slept all day probably meds . Went to a motel next day slept a lot. Came home on second day after and did not enjoy the 70 mile ride. Wore my pj's for 5 days and slept a lot because of meds again. Needed meds for the Gas pain which no one warned me about thought I was going to die not really but it did hurt.

I am retired so I could do this no 3 boys tearing around the house anymore and besides it was a cold spell here in Fl so everyone hibernates when it goes to low 60's.

I was coherent right when I woke up in recovery. My first words were " please take the pillow from behind my head". Stayed over night, no sleep b/c of noise. Came home and died in my bed. After a 2hr nap I was bloated but fine.

I was very alert and coherent immediately after surgery. In fact, I out-walked my nurse in the hallway a few times. I think she was pissed at me. I got home and rested that night with heating pad in case of gas spells. I drove my car the next morning and went and got a cup of coffee. Next day I attended a weight reduction seminar at my local hospital. Everybody handles the surgery differently.
