Jen!!!!!! I'm sure you're out of surgery now. Let us know how it went when you are able!

Update!! Surgery was on 10-23. I arrived at 5:15 am for a 7:15 am surgery. I woke up from surgery around 2. My comfort was well managed via IV meds for pain and nausea. I also had multiple injections of lovenox in my thighs. I was given morphine via my IV for pain that pretty much knocked me out. It was hard to keep up with my Water because I kept dozing off lol. I stayed overnight and almost wasn't allowed to go home the next day. I was told I wasn't drinking enough and could wind up dehydrating if taken off IV fluids. I promised to drink my 21oz cup of Water and my surgeon cut back on the pain meds to help me stay awake. He finally ok'd my discharge around 9pm.

I'm doing pretty good now at home. I can feel the gas moving thru my abdominal cavity and chest. Gas-X strips have helped with that quite a bit. I learned not to drink to quickly and not to take too big of a sip. My tummy let's me know when it's too much. I do feel like my new sleeve is trying to burst thru my body. I have a bit of a bulge near one of the incisions when standing up for a while, as of its trying to push thru. I just gently massage it and it feels better.

I'm going to take it easy for the next few days. Try to learn my new sleeve and it's likes and dislikes. Focus on sipping every 2 minutes and really get a routine down.

Good luck to everyone waiting to go and happy healing for those who already went. I'll be heading over to the post op boards in the next few days.

      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.
