Sleeved Today!

I feel pretty good . . . a little burpy . . . not in a tremendous amount of pain. My nurses barely checked on my all day . . . so I pretty much slept all day. I didn't really start sipping Protein Water until a couple of hours ago. I got up and did a couple of laps around the hospital floor I am on, and it didn't really hurt. Just a bit of pressure in my abdomen.

I did have a moment of real panic earlier, wondering what the heck I did to my body . . . I was in a LOT of pain and experiencing MUCH nausea earlier . . . but I am much better now.

I think I might be rambling a bit, LOL . . . so I apologize if I am. I really want to go home tomorrow, so I'm hoping they let me. I miss my kids!

At this point, I am pretty happy with my decision to go through with this . . .

My doctor said something sort of strange to my husband after the surgery was done. He said that my stomach was unusually "long" and took a lot more staples than he expected. I wonder if my "long" stomach had anything to do with why I have never experienced real "fullness" whenever I eat? I might ask him tomorrow . . .

Anyway . . . I don't post on here very often, but I do lurk. So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their constant input. I have learned a lot just reading everyone else's stories!
