I get to go home this morning! ! !

Dr said I've been doing really well. No pain , no gas yet and nausea is gone for now as well. Will get an additional lovenox shot before I leave and my vascular dr also prescribed 3 more for while I'm home. (Had a minor dvt from IUD last year...all gone now but now its in my medical history ). Still doesn't feel real yet. Even when looking at my bandages...

I am on day 2 of being sleeved. I'm not in pain it's more of a discomfort if this continues I feel I will be good. Still waiting to have the leak test so nothing but ice chips right now. I don't feel hungry at all wondering if that's the sleeve working or me just not thinking about eating. Yesterday was rough I was vomiting and nauseous the entire night. Today I'm fine just ready to get out an start losing this weight. Praying for 10/18 sleevers and everyone after I will save you guys a seat on the loser bench
