I'm staying overnight. Into surgery around 7:45am and I'm told it took about 50 minutes and the doc pronounced my liver "lovely". Stomach is sore and a headache. No bad gas pains (yet). Walking feels good. Ice pack on the tummy feels good. Hubs is here with me now, parents and sister earlier. Sis has also elected to sleep over on my room. Discharge after upper GI tomorrow

Morning.

Glad u are home kbush!

If it hurts your stomach when you cough ask for a abdominal belt it works wonders!

I didn't have time to ask. I was in and out in 4 hours. Seriously I was back home by 11am.

It took me 2 days to finish a bottle of Water after surgery. Today is day 3 post-op. I'm feeling much better. I have a few tender spots on my tummy but that's it. My leg muscles are sore from the socks they had on me during surgery. They fell like I've been at the gym working out. I wish they would have put those on my arms also. #instantWorkout

LOL

I'm so happy u r feeling that well... Are u sleeping in a bed? I been on a chaise loung cause its low to the ground so it's easier to get in and out of. My mom sleeps on the couch with the TV on. My back is starting to hurt and also the tv is driving me nuts because it keeps me up. I'm afraid if I lay in a bed I won't be able to get up

My moms bed is super high so my dad found a step stool so I used that to get on and omg totally worth it i use headboard and walker arms to help me get up. The relief I have on my back is incredible I feel all my muscles finally stretching try to find a step stool or even a cinder block to step up onto.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
