I know there are several of us on the same day, so I thought I would start a thread for us to keep in touch as we go through the process.

I'm having surgery in Dallas. On day 2 of preop diet. So far, so good. No issues to report.

Check in here if you are scheduled for 9/8! :)

Still quite wobbly on my two legs but they told me that I probably can go home after my last blood test. To drink is ok but when it hits the stomach it still hurts.

Every new day will make us all feel better

Hi all I'm still in hospital should be released today

Not in much pain but I had an issue with my lungs breathing they had to add more oxygen to my cap machine and I'm asthmatic...also they gave me Ativan cause I was panicking about my lungs so I was pretty out of it. ..first time I'm on my phone

Just sipping on Water and snapped

My lungs gave me the most trouble ....very little nausea...shoulder pain but nothing horrible...right side hurts too....feeling the best today so far....yah we are finally on the other side!

Hi friend been thinking about you..happy to see you post...I'm should go home later. ..hang in there...xoxo

I have been having trouble drinking. I keep taking too big of sips. I will get the hang of it soon or later. He did a hiatal hernia repair too.

Surgery went well. Sipping water and got most of portion shake down this morning. Waiting to be discharged . So ready to get rid of this iv and go home! Sounds like everyone is doing good. Hope it continues.

My surgery went great- I get out after lunch-

No problems swallowing . Tummy is a little tender but not as bad as I was expecting.

On my way home!????????

Ok friends!! Be careful at home!! The hospital is full of helpful tools and at home you need to find things to help modify your space!

I went to lay down and nap in my bed- well there aren't the bars and I felt like I about tore my gut- omg- it really hurt-

I'm probably going to sleep in the couch-easier to get on and off-

Just remember, that even a sneeze is connected to your tummy!

Ralaxing in the hotel sipping beef broth, excited to be going home tomorrow

Thats about it for me, ive been doing lots of sleeping sipping and walking

Sleeve excited, I totally had same experience so my sweet husband went out and got me this wedged pillow at the relax the back store.

I'm pretty sure they are at bed bath and beyond as well.

I just got done taking a fabulous nap'

OK I tried just taking liquid tylenol this afternoon instead of the narcotic. So far so good.

If anyone has not tried using the heating pad yet, it works!! I had a wonderful nap with it today.
