Tomorrow is my day. The hospital called me, and told me that my time had been moved up and that I needed to show up at 5am instead of 6:30am, kind of curious what that's about. I'm excited and nervous at the same. I'm all packed and ready to go, not sure if I'll be able to sleep or not tonight, haha, but I'll be ready none the less. I'll post a few updates today as things progress.

Congrats and good luck!!

I'm home now. Bp and Hr were still a bit high but I feel really good except for the insension they used for my stomach. It's a bit sore.

Was your Bp high before the surgery too?

Glad your home though!

Yeah ot was high in pre op and it was also high at my stress test. But everytime I check it at home its fine.

White coat syndrome??

That is probably the same incision they put the stapler in! That was my toughest incision, too.

I'm pretty sure it is. I don't have that around my PCP, he's really relaxed and cool about things so it's easy to relax around him.

Yeah, it's the only one that is a little sore. The others feel fine. It's not hard getting up and down, or walking, but hurts if I move a certain way. I've been sitting here sipping Crystal Light and water, seems like I'm still so thirsty I want to chug a gallon of water already. But, I'll hold out, sipping my little few ounces here and there.

So glad to hear you are doing well. I think it is down hill from here!

Thanks. I'm surprised at how easy things have gone so far. Some minor pain and discomfort, but all else is well. I was dry heaving in the hospital after they gave me pain shots, after telling them my pain was minute and I didn't need a shot, but oh well.

I took my shower today, got my bandages off. Looks pretty cool, haha. No red marks, one of the cuts is a little swollen, the big one, but no red marks or anything of that nature. Trying to get in a little protein with my water now.

Anyone have any idea on how many showers or how long I can sit in one? A cold shower sounds amazing right now.

Should be fine as long as you are not soaking in a bath tub... A cold shower?? I won't ask!

Good work mate. Sip sip sip, walk walk walk!

I showered the day I came home. I wrapped Saran Wrap around my inspections so they didn't get wet. I needed to get the funk off and begin to feel normal. Best of luck to you man!

Incisions not inspections lol

They told me today you can shower 48 hours after surgery.
