Glad everything is going well. The 2nd day was rough for me too. Between the drugs and gas, I was miserable or asleep. Gas X strips are an amazing thing. Walking helps too. So like everyone else says... WALK WALK WALK...

While you are home rest even if you feel great, I overdid and last week I paid for it....

Good morning, hopefully you are feeling great and get to come home today.

Ok my surgeon just told me he's keeping me another day because I'm not getting enough fluids in. I told him it hurts to drink and he said that should not be happening, so we are going to work on this today...I don't know how people say they are out shopping 1 day after surgery, that is truly amazing. My uvula got pretty beat up too during the surgery, did this happen to anyone else? I can literally feel it hanging at the back of my throat, SO GROSS! Anyway, I'm hopeful for a better day today, and I will try and drink more and walk more :-) hugs...

I've never heard of that problem with the uvula. Sounds nasty :w00t:

Congrats!! Which procedure did you choose? VSG or plication?

Oh no.. sorry it's been so ruff for you. Just rest, walk a little,drink a little and take all the pain meds they are offering you.

Hey chickee, sorry I missed this until now ! ! ! Glad surgery went well, but hate to hear you are struggling with fluids. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you are home soon and well on your way to a full recovery.

Keep us posted ! ! !

I stayed extra time too, it will be nice to have that extra day where they help you stay hydrated. I am really so excited for you!

Oh happy day!!!!

Yay! So glad to "see" you. Sorry to hear you are having problems. Remember the mantra everyday gets better. I don't know how anyone goes out the first 5 day I am only feeling up to it on day 6.
