I had my surgery this morning at 9:15.am. I was supposed to have gastric bypass, but I received the sleeve. This is as due to my liver being huge. The doctor said that I did everything I was supposed to due to shrink it, but it was just bigger than most he's worked with. He said it would have been too dangerous to do the bypass.

Right now I'm doing ok. I'm groggy and dozing off and on . I'm due to start walking around a bit shortly. I'm in pain and the pain meds seems to be helping some but not entirely.

He said everything went well. Now I'm looking forward to the future.

Prayers for a rapid and easy recovery for you. Keep us updated.

Well congrats to you. Will you still get the bypass at a later date? Hope recovery goes well for you. The pain does get better.

You are going to do great! Welcome to the losers bench!

Congrats!! I think you'll find that most of us prefer the sleeve. Hopefully you do too.

praying that you have a swift recovery, congrats!

Well congrats to you. Will you still get the bypass at a later date? Hope recovery goes well for you. The pain does get better.

There aren't plans for the bypass later. I really don't want to have more surgery either. I just have be more dedicated to losing the weight. ????

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Upper GI in the morning. I'll let you know.

Upper GI went well. No leaks. Woo!
