I have never heard of anyone leaving on the same day. Most recipients stay two days and if there is

a problem it can be up to a week. Will you have someone with you at home? I wouldn't advise being

alone that first and second day. Everyone that I know who has had the surgery stayed two to four

days. They actually did really well and had hardly no pain and you will probably be just like them

and it will be a walk in the park. Hope all goes well for you and good luck.

my doctors also do one day if surgery is early in the morning.

Tomorrow is my consultation with my surgeon, Dr. Robert Marvin. I will keep you all posted as I would like to keep in touch with my Houston buddies. I actually live North of Houston off 59. Prayers for all. We will be successful. I read something yesterday that kind of rang a bell with me. Change is difficult but not to change could be fatal. Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

@banksdea Well, my surgery ended up being around 2:30. Got there at noon and I was leaving around 7 pm.

I think I did well, and NOW I know what the pain is like--I just had the hardest time imagining what it would be like since I've had no major surgery since I was yrs old and had my tonsils out. I've been burping like crazy and when I drink liquids, especially plain Water, I have the sensation that I normally would get when I had an empty stomach and drank water- I guess an acidy stomach. So I took pepsid and I think it helped some My stomach seems to flutter or spasm every once in awhile and getting out of bed or bending down like to pick something up from the floor--whew, what a challenge! Walking has been what has relieved the gas the most. This afternoon I've had a low grade fever. Just keeping a watch on it bc I sure don't want it to get up high. Hoping, hoping it just stays low grade or goes away!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
