Arrived bright and early at OCC. nice facility. Lots of waiting. Saw dentist, nutritionist, cardiologist and had my band x-rayed to make sure there werent complications. Now in my private room. It's 10:40 and got here at 7. So be prepared to wait!

Room is nice and comfortable. I think bathroom is down the hall. No idea where in the surgery queue I am but they are doing a heavy load today - 7. I was told they do 6 but today is 7. Nit overly thrilled about that. Haven't met the doc yet.

Surprisingly calm.

Stupid double post

Went into surgery I think around 9 and I wasn't the last one! Everything went well. Had some nasea but they took are of that quickly. Was pulled up around 1:30 am to get up and walk. A bit wobbly but I'm sure being tired contributed.

Sore getting in and out of bed of course. Up again on my own around 5 am to use the bathroom. Darn iIV fluids! Up again at 7 and they were beginning to get folks moving again. M drain tube leaked a bit all over my gown and some on the bed but they got that tresolved. I did have quite a bit of drainage but according to doc the color is good.

They are keeping the woman who had some respiratory issues and turned out she had a heart condition too. Complications were not from the doctors and she seemed to be doing better this morning.

I'm back at the Marriott now. One weird side effect for me is my eyesight is shot. Distance which is always ok s good, but near is very blurry so hard to read the forums. Doc said that sometimes happens. I'll be able to post more when I an see better!

Thanks for all the well wishes, they are greatly appreciated.

So glad to hear that you finally are in and out of surgery, and seem to be recovering well! Hope your eyesight comes back!

Same thing happened to me. It took about 48 hours to resolve.
