Excited for you!

Yay I'm now post op! Pain and nausea were at a 8/9 out of ten when I woke up took quite a few hours to get under control but feeling much better now nausea gone thanks to a patch they put on and pain maybe 2/3 out of ten.

Able to sip Water with some discomfort, didn't get any sleep with all the check ups but managed to half doze. I'm in for one more night then home tomorrow morning. I can't believe this is real! All the best to you all on your journeys and speedy recovery!

That's awesome! Best wishes for a super speedy recovery!

I had my final preop assessment today. Am exhausted and terrified. The bariatric nurse has made me feel the next six weeks are going to be unbearably horrible. She said nothing of the positive endpoint only the horrible symptoms. She spoke about dilating strictures for ages! I know I need this surgery to stand a chance of being healthy. Only now I'm dreading it. Sorry to be such a worrier- I thought today would be a boost. I was very wrong!

Excited for you!!

I had my surgery yesterday and was released home this afternoon. Except for the continuing gas issues and the pain when I try to use my abdominal muscles, and the Dr. had to repair a large hiatal hernia while inside, I feel great! Now starts the hard part - the post-op diet!

1 more week!

I did it y'all. !!! I made it I'm on the other side

Glad to hear everyone is progressing well both pre and post! I'm so sad to hear Priscillapresley that your preop visit was focused on all the negatives!! Keep your chin up and dwell in the positive!! That is where your body will gravitate to! My clinic has been so positive and whenever I have felt the least bit frustrated, they are reminding of the positives.

My surgery is on the 25th and I'm on my second week of the gourmet liquid diet! ????. Keeping everyone in my prayers as we are starting our new lives!!
