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.

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.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
