Well I had my surgery this morning and was home by 4. I have some tenderness and some gas but nothing horrible. The worse part is my mouth is so dry. I keep sucking on ice chips but still not helping alot.

SO glad this part is over. Now I just want to join the loosers bench. Staying off the scale will be the hard part!

(((Lynda))) that's great! Congrats! So happy for you!

I can't wait to join you on that loser's bench!

YAY YAY Lynda, best wishes for a speedy recovery, rest, walk, sip ! ! !

Wow, so you did come home on the same day huh? That's so wild. So glad you are feeling pretty good! Congratulations!!!

I'm glad you are doing so well. Just remember not to push it - walk, sip, and REST!

Glad you did okay coming home the same day, I knew you could do it. Drink your fluids, as hard as it is. Good Luck.:thumbup1:

Congratulations Lynda!!! I will be right behind you. Monday can't get here fast enough. Keep us posted on your recovery. I pray that it is smooth.

yeah linda! Welcome to our side! Things will fall into place soon, just walk lots ok. . .your going to do so great!

Thanks everyone! I slept pretty good for a while but could not get comfortable anymore so I am up. I took a sip of Water and then I vomitted bile :001_smile: I didn't get the nausea med filled so I guess I better. It also had a little bit of blood in it. Is that normal? I will call the doc in the am, was just curious of anyone else experienced this.

Thanks@

Hey Lynda,

Congrats. I was slevved Tues 3/10 and came home yesterday. Just 1 night overnight. I had a band removed at the same time so it was a little more complex. I coudnt wait to get on the scale this AM. Guess what??? I gained 5 pounds!!! How funny is that? I'm sure there is a logical reason but I have no idea why.

Congratulations you made it! Please let us know what the doctor says. I hope all is and continues to go well with your recovery.

Linda,

I can't not have imagined going home the same day. I had my surgery this past Monday and I felt great on Monday but when Tuesday got here I was the same way as you. I had so much nausea that I couldn't keep anything down the whole day. Not even the blue dye in apple juice they wanted me to drink to test for a leak. Other than the anti nausea medicine, the best thing they gave me was the acid reducer that is a liquid form. If you don't have any than I would ask for some of that as well. I felt better on Wed and only vomited twice. Once during the contrast test to look for leaks and once late that night. As of yesterday though I have not had anymore vomiting and most of the gas is gone as of today. Congrats on the surgery and it sounds like you are doing much better than I was. Wishes for speedy recovery. Like everyone says walk, sip, rest. Hardest thing to do when you can't keep anything down :confused:

Well i got the pain med and nausea med down and they made me SO sleepy so I took a 2 hour nap! Feeling better already! I even ate a popscilce and kept it down! Thanks everyone!

My coordinator at the hospital and surgeon said it took 39 minutes to do the procedure and was the first patient ever to come hom the day of that surgery! I guess they won't forget me!

so glad that you are feeling better! how long did you take off from work?

Welcome to the club,

Hope your feeling better soon, home the same day, that's amazing xx.

LyndaRN - amazing that the surgery took so little time and that you came home the day of the surgery - why did you come home so quickly? I'm new to this site and am scheduled for surgery March 31st - I can't decide if I should have the sleeve or the bypass. I'm a self pay so I want as little complications as possible but I've had gastric reflux for about 20 years and I'm concerned with the sleeve that I might still have the reflux - so I'm still trying to figure out what to do. So glad you are doing so well...
