Thanks everyone! Packing my bag. Going to leave VERY early cause the weather sucks here!! Have a three hour drive to the surgery center and it is supposed to be below zero plus we got a ton on snow today! Bad timing!

@ Betsy, lol, my surgery isn't until January 16th and my hospital bags have been packed since mid-December!! I'm a over-achiever, I guess u can say...lol. Good luck to you!! My surgeon requires a minimum mandatory hospital stay of 4 days for a Laparoscopic RNY. I just hope it can stay a laparoscopic procedure. I've had multiple previous abdominal surgeries with a lot of scar tissue so I'm keeping my fingers AND toes crossed!!! Cheers to the New Year and all our future endeavors in a smaller pair of pants!

Well I had my surgery earlier today, I guess it is yesterday now, LOL, I am doing great! This hospital is awesome. My nurses are taking wonderful care of me! I had some nausea and pain right out of surgery when I woke up but I can honestly say as of now, I have NONE! I have not been using the pain pump for awhile, I received Toradol in my IV earlier and it is all I seem to need for pain. I have had zofran for nausea and that has done the trick too. I will get my cath out later this morning and probably get to go home early afternoon. All my labs and vitals are perfect. :). Thanks to everyone for helping me to not chicken out. :)

Glad to hear all went well! Lets all hope that the pain stays away!! But as a nurse, I can tell u that as soon as your pain reaches a 3 on the pain scale, start asking for your pain medication. Its way easier to control. Don't wait too long. Good luck to u!!!

I am home! Had surgery yesterday. Doing pretty good though I am pretty sore. I have a question. I am not wanting to take the lortab elixir that they sent me home on. Codeine usually makes me nauseous. So I got some liquid Tylenol. But as I was looking at the ingredients it has sugar in it. Can I take this without side effects?

I am pretty sure the amount is so small that it won't have an effect. However, if you can do without then no worries. Depends on your pain tolerance.

This forum can be a bit confusing to read sometimes, but my surgery isn't until the 16th but I'll take your accolades now in advance ;) I think it was Betsy that had her surgery. Good luck to u as well!!!

Lol! Well as long as I don't MOVE I am fine. Ugh. Man moving is a whole other story. Just about killed myself trying to get out of my bed on my own. Wow that hurt. So I might just try the Tylenol with codeine and see what happens.

Congrats-on your surgery. I just took Children's Tylenol tonight and I swear I dumped. It taste really sweet. I should have known better. I tried to ease the pain with two oyster crackers which only made things worse.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
