Can't sleep.....

I have to be at Kaiser Richmond CA at 10:30 in the morning! My actual surgery is at 12:30.

I don't really have any support...my mom is taking me and is not very happy with my choice to have my sleeve. " you are losing the weight, why get the surgery!"

I am getting my sleeve for my own reasons. I am a single mom. I have 2 children. I am going to turn 44 on June 21st...I will be in the hospital!!! I am not getting any younger. Losing the weight will give me back nine or so more years with my babies!!! Enough said, right?

Wish me luck, as I start this journey alone. If I watch one more Gastric Sleeve YouTube video, I may crack....LOL

Night...

First of all, Happy Birthday tomorrow. I just turned 44 on the 18th. I wasn't in the hospital ony birthday, but I was 13 days postop and on the postop liquid diet on my birthday. I'm so very sorry that you don't have your mother's support but am glad you are doing what you feel is right for you. I know we aren't your mom, but we are all here for you. Good luck and let us know how you are doing when you feel able to check in.

Mine is today also! Good luck!

Good luck on your surgery and the journey that lies ahead. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to checking back in here.

I'm up. You?

Afternoon everyone!

Well, I had my surgery yesterday! It was awful waking up from the anesthesia- I was sooooo sick, dry heaving with horrible cotton mouth sucks. The nurses gave my everything they had for nausea. Didn't work? Nope......

So, it was a long night of checking my pulse and getting up to pee. They must have filled my abdomen with the Panama Canal!

Good new is, I am home. I have a buttload of meds to take. I had the pharmacist make me a meds time sheet.

Laying on the couch, sipping chicken broth with horrible gas. I am bloated and get the hiccups every time I get up to walk.

Bottom line, I am home, it is over, I am on a new road- just learning to drive slow...
