it is finished... Had my surgery! What an ordeal

I went in on tue 3/24 to have my surgery. I clowned so bad in recovery room they wouldn't let my husband in to see me. I don't remember much but the nurse said "we need to get her in her room now". The pain was terrible. they even tried to get me to walk in recovery. Once I got in my room the nausea horrible. I was dry heaving which caused so much pain in my abdomin. they were pumping me up with drugs to prevent me from damaging something. I ended up staying in the hospital for 3 nights. I got home today and I'm much better. The whole time I was think Why did I do this. What an experience....

Glad you are back home and feeling somewhat better. For me, every single day was SO much better than the day before. I hope it is smooth sailing for you from here on.

I had surgery on 3/25. I'm still thinking why have I done this to myself. Too late now! But I just have to believe every day has got to get better.

Congrats y'all

Well at least it's over! I hurt to when I woke up. I never lie about that when someone's asks. I was only nauseated the first two days when I stood up. Good thing is it's all getting better right? It's a process and not always sunshine and roses, but it's worth it :)

Here's to a crappy

Recovery room process. Me too. Lol. Day 3 feeling better each day. First day u kept thinking why did I do this to myself.

I had surgery 3/10.. It wasn't hard on me, they had me hooked up to a pain pump! I didn't feel nothing! I went home the next day. BUT, the week following at home was terrible! I hurt so bad! I also was regretting this decision. I wasn't feeling happy and joyous, like I read allot of on here. But today, I'm almost 3 weeks post op, I feel SOOOO much better. I'm barely hurting now, still hurts to bend at the waist, but nothing like it was. It does get better, and dropping 27 pounds in the process, makes it with it:-D

I was sleeved on 3/10 and I have a very high pain tolerance. I did not have much pain, but the gas/CO2 was driving me nuts. Walk. walk walk.....That will help. Also if your shoulder hurts that is normal (referred pain from the stomach). I also stayed 3 nights in the hospital....I had excessive stomach swelling and was having clearance issues. The doc said I might have lost 1 oz of blood during the entire surgery and that he had never seen anything like that. I'm thinking my body heals a little too well which caused my issue. Everyday I learn something new and everyday gets a little better.
