Just got the call from the hospital, surgery tomorrow at 1pm. Can't believe it's here, kind of calm yet freaking out inside. Fears of being put under keep racing through my head. My 5 month journey coming to a climax tomorrow. What am I to expect after surgery?

I took Prilosec today for the gas, it was the best thing my Dr. Told me to take. I was able to take sips, of water, and isopure.. I space it out.. I can really feel the fullness.. I walked today outside my house came back exhausted, and took a nap.. And my fever is gone and I didn't vomit today, slowly but surely.. I pray everyone else is ok.

Sorry for the delay in update, so here's my story so far. Surgery was on 9/24 at 115pm, I was in recovery by 4pm in horrible pain (had sleeve & hiatal hernia). Was given strong pain meds which helped. Once back in room was made to walk within 2 hours. Gas was horrible and spending night in hospital was sleepless and painful since I didn't ask for pain meds in time. Note to all ask for pain meds early. From there it all changed, after that horrible tasting leak test I was informed of no leaks and started on liquid diet. After drinking about 12 to 14 oz of various liquids over 4 hours I was cleared for release. YEAH. Went home took I pain pill and haven't looked back since, no pain, just some gas that gas x took care of. Was able to get 30g protein shake down on Friday and have increased to 60+ grams of protein shakes, sf jello, and 28oz of water down per day. I actually went back to work today (only 1/2 day) but its a start. Had buyers remorse Friday but as of today only bad effect is tiredness. Even normal bowel movements have returned. I'm down 5 pounds since pre-surgery and happy. Have a follow up tomorrow with my doctor. Just to all take it slow, walk as much as possible and take deep breaths. While the journey started out tough I'm looking forwards with positive thoughts.

good luck to the both of you
