surgery today, part two to my story



Recommended Posts

Well surgery was Friday and the staff here was very sympathetic to my previous experIence and walked me through VERY slowly I woke up with no issues but dang if I didn't have buyers remorse. Day two stank badly and again I questionned why I felt the need for this. But today is day three I am up walking around a ton and feel so much better then yesterday. Today I feel like I got punched in the gut but other then thatAnd residual weakness from anesthesia things are going better. The doc shoul be in soon to do m leak test then I go to motel here for a night and home tomorrow! Yay I miss my husband and boys! Though my mom been the rock for me here.

I will post more when I get home and have my laptop handy

Best wishes!!!

I am doing great and I am almost half way home. We are driving through loa Angeles right now. I can't wait to see my hubby and kids. If you would have asked m th second day post op how I thought I woupd be feeling today, I certainly wouldn't have been this good. I have residual abdomenal pain but mostly tender to touch only. I am getting my energy back but I have a lingering headache I refuse to take anything for at thiz moment. The doc sent me home with some and I googled them they are nsaids. I thought those were no no's I am taking my stomach acid protector and an antacid the prescribed. I think I'm a little leery of the drugs you can't get in USA! Call me ocd who knows. I will take those and the antibiotic the pain stuff can kiss my rear.

I will report a blow by blow later when I'm not travelling in a car! Thank you all again, also any headache medicine suggestions are welcome.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
