***Update*** had surgery at 8:45 am yesterday. It was supposed to be 7:15am but I got bumped. They provided me with something for the anxiety. I came to in the recovery room but in a lot of shoulder and chest pain from the gas. I was given pain meds and passed out. I awoke in my room and experienced a lot of gas pain and severe nausea. I'm not going to lie, the aftermath was very uncomfortable and I was constantly asking for pain and nausea meds. By night fall I was feeling MUCH better and was able to walk. I had interrupted sleep last night but that's to be expected when you have nurses coming in all night. Today, I feel great! I do have some soreness in my abdomen but it feels like I did too many crunches. The nausea non existent and I've been cleared to go home. For those of you about to go in, yes it will suck at first and then it gets better quick. Just rest, walk when your ready, don't be afraid to ask for meds, and moisten your mouth frequently for dry mouth. Good luck to you all!!

Congratulations Sabl3r! I'm delighted that everything went well for you. Good luck on your journey to a new you! My surgery is scheduled for May 11th and I am excited and nervous at the same time. I will be joining you soon and hopefully we can keep each other updated on our progress. Hope to hear from you soon
