Laying in the cubicle waiting for everything to get started. My body looks like a colored road map. Black line bottom cut, green line top cut, blue lines vertical guide lines.

Day 4-Actually feeling pretty good this morning. Didn't think I needed a pain pill butttook one anyway, just to be safe. I actually picked up something I dropped this morning, that was a major feat. I had to readjust my binder, I cant believe how flat my belly is and my my belly button is not winking at me!

I HATE drain tubes. 4 in the pubis area. Last night I dropped one- needless to say the neighbors got an ear full. Maybe he'll take them out soon!

Ask nurses for a safety pin. They should have pin it to your gown so that would not happen.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
