Good luck, you will be fine. You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers. We will be waiting to hear from you, and how you are doing.

Good luck! 2nd day was a bit rough for me, but today I haven't needed any pain meds since my morning IM shot! I opted to ask for one before bed just because I have a long day of travelling ahead of me and wanted to make sure I can sleep well, but I think I would've been fine without it.

How exciting for you and hubby. Best wishes and good luck. Please keep us updated when you are able too.

Hey guys! I had my surgery to day and it went absolutely perfect. We got the IV started the first try which is a big shocker for me and my small veins. I woke up and the only slight discomfort I had was in my shoulder from a gas bubble. I was walking within 1 hour of being returned to my room. I was only able to pee a little bit due to the spinal block. I felt great when I could finally do so. Im feeling very grateful and overwhelmed by the kindness of Doctors Aceves and Campos. They are extremely gracious. i would recommend this place to anyone wanting the surgery. The facilities are very clean and the nurses are very quick to your side. Very Very sleepy. Better go for now. Good night my VSG family.

Good to hear it went well. My recovery was quite uneventful, too - first night was a bit rough, but that's it. Today is my 5th day and after popping a supradol in the am, I:

1) drove to my doctor's

2) drove back to my house, then walked and took the bus to the counselor's office

3) took the bus back home

4) met for lunch with friends - they ordered pho and I just had about 3/4 cup of the broth over the course of the hour we were there

5) went and bought some stuff at the pet store

And the night's still young, so I'll probably be heading to my boyfriend's grandma's house to grab some stuff! Pretty amazing considering I just had surgery Monday! So it will probably continue to be smooth sailing for you. I have occasional thoughts of certain foods (none of them are that unhealthy, actually, I just can't have them for another 2 weeks or so - Greek yogurt, tuna sashimi), but they are nowhere near as obsessive as my cravings used to be.

Hey Ladies, Good luck with your recovery!

Day 2 is almost gone!! A little more pain today...nothing too too bad. Just some heartburn and soreness in my belly. I really LOVE this place & the Dr.'s..couldn't have asked for kinder people!!
