Thank you everyone! I just met my anesthesiologist. She was very Christina Yang from Greys Anatomy. Kinda dry humor straight to the point. I liked her :)

Ahhhhhhh! This is all so real now. I can't help but to feel as though I should run out of here.

Best of luck! Soon you'll be part of the sleever's club. ^_^

Prayers for you! And a fast recovery too!

Good Luck!

Hi everyone! I wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes! Besides some pain that's totally tolerable with meds and being horribly thirsty, I feel great! My mouth is soooooo dry but not allowed to sip on anything till tomorrow.

Congrats!!! Glad you're doing so well! Keep us posted on how you're doing. :)

So wondered how you are feeling Day 2? I woke up feeling OK.. Pain/uncomfortable right where my actual stomach is. Have not had liquids yet, they said soon. My mouth is so dry!

Oh I bet! The dry mouth was the worst! I've never been so thirsty. I was just brought a tub of fluids to pick from and a ton of medicine cups. It was the most exciting time ever! Haha. I feel like such a nerd to have gotten so excited by the sight of a beverage.

Pain wise: I'm feeling great. I've been walking a whole lot. They keep asking me if I've passed any gas. Which I haven't, so hopefully it won't hurt when I do. I keep the medicine button close by when I get stomach spasms.

I got no sleep last night. Someone kept coding and I couldn't help but worry so I stayed up. I did ask of it was a bariatric patient. It was not. Eased my mind a little (sounds terrible I know)

Keep me updated!
