Surgery TODAY!

[jennybeck 2]

So, I am in my way to the hospital. My band to sleeve revision is TODAY.... To say I am extremely nervous would be a huge understatement!!! I am scared to death, I am a worrier by nature. I am confident with my surgeon I just worry about complications. Wish me luck, and if you are of the praying type, please send a couple up for me and my caregivers today. I will post later with an update.

My Surgery was scheduled for 7:00 this morning.. At 7:00 I was scared to death and was was in the holding area. They came and gave me a shot if Versed to help me relax. I barely remember anything else until I woke up in recovery at 10:30. My surgery finally got underway at 7:30 and the doc came out to speak with my family at 9:30. So far, it has been a little more painful than my band surgery, which I guess is to be expected. I am very sensitive to anesthesia and have been nauseated for most of the day. I have walked up a down the hall a few times. All in all it has not been as bad as I had feared!!! Let me know if you guys have any specific questions. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes,

Hi jenn

Glad to hear everything went well. I am having my revirsion on the 01/29/13. I am also worried about complications. Keep us posted god bless you and may you have a quick recovery

Thank You!!

It is now 1:25 am central time. I have developed a low grade fever (99.5). They say this not uncommon, but it still worries me. I have done my walks up and down the hall and have used my incentive spirometer. I do not have a pain pump, I just have to ask for it when I am hurting. Which is pretty much all the time. My JP Drain has been filling up pretty fast. Is this normal?? Still glad I have the band out, but the just got smacked by a Mack truck has got to go!!

I'm having my revision on Monday...so scared too. My band was removed last November tho when I was preggo after a slip so I had to regain everything to be approved. :-( I pray the recovery is not much worse I hate the trapped gas feeling...best of luck to u my friend.

I am being discharged from hospital. I did not rest well last night due to pain and nausea. If I took pain meds, it mad me sick. If I took nausea meds, I still hurt. They took my JP drain out. It did not hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would. Wow what a difference 12 hours makes. I one thirty this morning I thought I wasn't going to make it. Now, I am feeling good. It is amazing what a little liquid lortab can do for you. I am just trying to get my liquids in and my mouth is staying sooo dry.. You will have to excuse me if I am rambling on and on about random things. I am medicated.

Good Luck to all of you with upcoming surgeries. I am home now and actually feeling pretty good.I am laying on the sofa watching TV. The liquid pain med is keeping me comfortable. I am not nauseated anymore thank goodness. I have been sipping on Water, but my favorite so far is sugar free popsicles. The anxiety I had experienced before surgery, although normal, was really unfounded. My surgeon, nurses, and other caregivers were wonderful. I do not regret this decision at all. I am beyond excited to have the band out. I wish all of you with upcoming surgeries the best of luck for a speedy recovery. The first 24 hours was a doozy! After that, it has been smooth sailing. For me at least.
