Just got my date Jan. 6th!! Seems far away but it will be here soon!

Today and yesterday I am extremely tired and slow. I am day 8 of my preop diet. I have followed this diet very well. It could be that I've switched to decaf coffee and the weather is so cold here. 4 days left. I so wish it was here!!! Ready to start this journey!!!

Are you taking vitamins or started your vitamin regimen for post op? I'm taking all the post op vitamins and I have been fine. Just a thought

I had my surgery on jan. 5, 2014. Got to the hospital at 6:00am for surgery prep. So far so good! Into OR, I was greeted by all. It was a delight to have everyone say that they would take good care of me. Then it was slumber time.... I woke up in the recovery room. Dr. Hahn was there and told me that along with the sleeve he had to perform a hiatal hernia repair and do a liver biopsy...Good job!

In my private room. IV for pain and another for liquids were all hooked up. Meet with the nursing staff that would be checking my vitals etc.. For the next two days.

The pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although I kept pushing the IV for pain. A total of 5 incisions. The largest one (about 1 inch) on my right side. It hurt the most. I couldn't even feel the others. Dr. Hahn came to see me more than a few times. I kept asking him all the questions I could think of. He answered and explained them all. He was great!!!

I did a lot of sleeping!

Dr. Hahn and the hospital staff told me that I was doing very well. No vomiting or nausea. Drinking my fluids and meds. Saw Dr. Hahn one last time to make sure that I understood all the instructions and got all my prescriptions to take home for pain. I was ready to go home...I went home at 6:00 pm on jan. 6.

I'm home now and in my own bed. More to come at later time....

My date is January 12th. I was only told to do pre op diet 7 days before surgery. It hasn't been that bad. I think it's because I'm so excited for my surgery. Good Luck everyone!

How is all the post op this week? I had a lil hard time with recovery. Today is going better

Hey Ladies and if there are any gents which I have not seen yet...I hope everyone is having an awesome day.. Three days to go then I'm leaving and 4 days til surgery. Phew I'm starting to get nervous or its just excitement or both who knows. I hope one of you awesome ladies has started the post op forum I want to go and search for it so I have some where to immediately go! Stay strong!

En route to the airport!! Surgery tomorrow. Yikes! This is real!!! No nerves yet, but they are coming. I can feel it. Don't know how my post op will go but I'll start a post thread when I'm able. Wishing any of you having surgery this week the best of luck!!!

@@mduffield Im SOOOO excited for you! Yay make sure you let us know how post op went! Good luck and I will be sending you my good vibes!

Made it to the Marriott in TJ. Had a rough start this morning with first flight delayed then missed connecting flight. Great thing is that the driver was there to pick us up and everything has gone smoothly since then. The Marriott is nice and very comfy. Surgery is tomorrow. Yippee. So excited! Good luck to all of you. See you on the other side.
