????????my overall experienceSo surgery was a success!

Not thrilled with St. Barnabas at all, nurses amazing actually hospital seems cluttered and a bit u organized. ????While in OR they were strapping me down, talking, looking and complaining about how rooms were not set up properly and missing what they needed. I've had many surgeries and usually get to OR and switch tables get a quick ok what's ur name verification, and then the anesthesiologist usually will tell me to start counting and I go to sleep then wake up and recovery. This time I must've sat there for over 20 minutes while they look for items got me set up and my anxiety was out of control. After or recovery section they brought me to my room and I was so very nauseous and a we entered room I was so outta it I thought it smelt like cigarettes and they parked my bed and I almost puked. Rang for nurse in a daze crying cause gagging was causing stomach pain ( unnecessary ) to get me outa room someone was definitely smoking. They came in they took me out of room said she was in the bathroom smoking with her boyfriend. As I overheard him tell her they already told her the day before no smoking. Needless to say this was approximately 4 PM in the afternoon so they knew the room smelt like cigarettes and was dirty and still attempted to put me in there like I was an idiot and that is so unsanitary. That's away and hallway for 30 to 40 minutes for a new room. Pain meds made me dry heave and more sick so I stuck to only nausea meds. That medicine made it even worse I asked for them to call the doctor to see what else could be done and they were able to bring me back to the OR and give me two more tap blocks in my stomach to numb it. It's now a week later and I saw my doctor Wednesday and he said alls well incision is swollen bruised and that I need to rest but all went well with surgery. Into puréed foods and it's only week two and Wednesday I can start regular if I still don't have pain while eating. Just pain from actual surgery. Have to go back in three weeks sooner if incision or back worsens or if swelling and incision pain gets worse. So far I am doing well with the adjustments but the one incision in right the stomach actually came out of still hurts a whole lot, but I'm also full time mommy and have been busy with my baby and other kids, cooking, cleaning, homework etc. I guess if I was a couch potato for a week I'd be 100% but I can't ???? life is good and I am officially down 26 pounds!! ????

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
