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...

Congrats on your surgery..sugar free Popsicles were my ticket to fluids 48 hours after my surgery and warm tea..water made me nauseous..but I promise...it gets better over time..hang in there!

I'm sure it will get better. I swore that I was not going to be one of those people who said what did I do to myself? But I'm really not feeling well. And I'm surprised.

Hi Jona I had my surgery at Richmond Kaiser too! I had a great experience there! Please keep us posted and stay strong!

Afternoon everyone!

Well' date=' 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...

Yes the hiccups! I don't get them anymore.

I have to tell you... The surgery was a success' date=' BUT I am feeling pretty off... I'm worried about getting in my Water.[/quote']

Me too! I am having a very hard time not throwing it up....

Good Luck! You may not have alot of support at home but you can always come to your buddies here for support whether you need uplifting or want to brag we will be here.

Wishing you the best of luck!
