Surgery yesterday, discharged this morning. I'm super excited to see what success is going to look like! My clinic staff said that my recovery while under their care was much better than most (but of course we all know they've got the good drugs there!) . Drugs at home, not quite so good, but still feeling really good considering I'm only 29 hours out from surgery. I have some minor soreness along the line of my incisions and some muscular soreness around my diaphragm. No nausea, no vomiting, little gas, a little heartburn sensation when I'm not sitting up straight or standing, and it's slightly difficult to stay focused due to the narcotic. The only other thing I 'm not cheering about is trying to get all my meds and fluids down due to the swelling and uncomfortable sensation, but that's all it is, fortunately, "uncomfortable sensation". No complaints here and I can't wait to see what awesome things are awaiting me in my future!

Best of luck to you all! At this point, so far so good and I'm really pleased!

Again, I appreciate your calm approach! I've told 2 more people and both were very happy for me. The unspoken thought, "Yes, you are fat and I worry about you."

I'm going to have someone clean my house this week so I will be ready for some R&R. A friend I love and trust will take me and another friend I love and trust is checking into her availability to pick me up. Breathing much better the more goals I scratch off my list.

Great work! One step at a time! I'm sure this will be a start to a healthier, happier life for you!

Surgery and recovery going well. One week out, eating liquids. When I re-read my nervous post, I couldn't believe it was me! Everything turned out much better than I anticipated.

Congrats, Daydra! So great that you're having a good recovery. My surgery is on Monday, hope I have a similar story! Thank you for sharing your story.
