Just got home, I am finally sleeved!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone :) I am finally home! Everything went well and I was very pleased to hear that I had a "tiny" liver :D Four months of super-low carbs paid off!

I had a hard time the first night and the morning after because I didn't have such a great reaction to the pain meds they were giving me. And the nurse I had kept telling me it was left-over anesthesia and to keep taking my meds. I was ridiculously dizzy and nauseous so I was not able to get up and walk, which meant that the gas pain was pretty bad. The second day my surgeon took me off of the meds and I was able to start sipping Water and moving around. It helped a bunch! The other thing that came up was that every time I would fall asleep my oxygen levels would drop into the high 70's... so apparently I probably have sleep apnea. My surgeon doesn't seem to be too concerned since I am doing the best thing to treat it already by losing weight.

Right now I am pretty sore, but it is manageable. I am taking it easy tonight and just sip, sip, sipping!

Thanks for all the support everyone :D

      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!!
