You are just in the first few hours of post op. You may not be feeling great and may have concerns or second thoughts. The fear is normal. Don't let yourself get stressed out. Its a process. Accept you are going to have a few rough days, followed by weeks of learning. Soon.. you will see results and be glad to made the decision.

Prayers for good health :)

Blessings.

Thanks for all the sweet words and encouragement! I will be going home in a few hours. I must say I don't think it could have went any smoother than it did. I was blessed with an AMAZING staff! Everyone of them was exceptional. So guess who's getting a huge box of cupcakes!!!! Thanks for all the prayer and thoughts! I am just taking it day by day and keeping my stress level to a minimum. I have no regrets. I am staying in my learning phase until me and Miss sleeve become one lol! Blessing to you all!

@@time for june I felt like I had done soooo much research and read so many post there really wasn't anything that caught me off guard. I would just say try to remain calm and go with the process. I worried myself sick about gas and shoulder pain and I ended up not having either. I made a post earlier about my glade plug in for my hospital room, I know it sounds really simple but just having my room smell of apple cinnamon was more like home to me.I also found some soothing sounds/music On my IPad and I played it most of the time. All the staff made remarks on how lovely my room felt. Just try to make your self comfortable. Walk, use a binder, and most of all be kind to your staff And they will be kind to you.

On the plus side my anesthesiologist is a cutie! Of course he is who else would you want staring at your big ol belly lol! Thank you all in advance!

After a hip replacement I developed a theory that after major surgery they send in the cutest nurse to remove your catheter. Does she know about "shrinkage"?!! :o

It's true! Every anesthesiologist I've ever had was drop dead gorgeous and had seen me looking my absolute worst. I think it's a rule that in order to be an anesthesiologist you HAVE TO be good looking

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
