I second that. They asked me if I wanted to stay and I said no.

Congrats to all of you March losers. I think my insurance got the approval request today. I called to change my address with them and asked them if by chance there was an approval for surgery and she said no. Then she said oh, but we got something from the mayo today but its not processed yet but it's the only thing that it can be from them so I said I'd check back later in the week and they saidvto wait until Monday, don't thin I can do that, I'll try again Monday. At least that means I hopefully can get my surgery in April.

First day went great. Was up walking all evening. Sat up talking to a friend till midnight. Pain is pretty low. My husband had bypass yesterday too. He couldn't sleep so he walked to my room at 3am when nurse woke me up and again at 7am. We went for a long walk and now I'm down in cray awaiting my Upper GI so I can hopefully get unhooked from the catheter. So far so good. A lot smoother than I expected.

Sorry I haven't updated. Surgery was Monday, I am still alive!! It has been a very very rough couple of days. A lot a lot of gas and abdomen pain. Today I am feeling better. Yesterday I was switched from iv pain meds to pain pills an those are helping tremendously!!! The pain pump sucked. The first day with the amount of pain I was in I did cry and ask myself wtf have I done. My fiancée reminded me I would have that feeling so that helped. Each day is getting better. I have been doing great about walking, that has been much easier since they removed my catheter yesterday. As long as I get enough fluids on my own today i will go home.

Surgery done heading home feel great no gas pains. Incisions tender but nothing terrible. Just feels like I did 899 sit ups. Lol. Have to come back Friday to get my drain tube out. Went well

Had my drain and foley removed today. What a relief. Am soooo sore. But hold an ice pack against main incision when I got for my walks. Should go home tomorrow unless my labs are off. Wtg dolfinldy1!
Little sore today that 3 1/2 car ride home wasn't kind to me. I never noticed I-80 was so damn bumpy. And I have to go back Friday to get my drain removed and see my nutritionist. But every day will improve.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
