I'm Home....Surgery September 9th

Hi, I just arrived home about an hour ago.

I had a pretty restless night at the surgery center...wasn't my iComfort!

I've taken my meds and I think I am going to try to rest and sleep for a bit.

You had the surgery yesterday and you're home today!?!? Wow! I thought it was 2-3 days in the hospital before you can go home.

Congratulations on the surgery and good luck with your recovery!

Congratulations. .good luck on your journey

@@magicalwoman Congratulations ! Welcome to the Club !!! :)

@Radar My sleeve was outpatient ... I had it done at 8am and was home by 3pm ...

About 10 years ago, I discovered I had high blood pressure when I was at work with chest pains. They brought me to the hospital for a "stress test" which is supposed to be either getting on a treadmill with electrodes on your body or getting a shot that speeds up your heart... with electrodes on your body. I had to stay overnight. They woke me up every half hour to an hour throughout the night. I asked if that was really the stress test because if it was... it was working.

I had no idea you could do that! I thought it was a huge serious thing and they had to keep you for a few days.

Edited by Radar

@Radar I used to think that same thing! But I went through True Results ... and that is how they did the sleeve for me ... there were a lot of ppl there that day ... they also do surgeries in the hospital for others ... but this is what worked for me :)

I didn't know you could do out patient also! Good for you! You're probably resting better than I am. I just fell asleep eating lol!! Hoping you're having a fast recovery!

Just took more pain meds about an hour ago.

I slept for about an hour maybe.

Tried unjury chicken Soup, best thing I've had so far.

I will stay up for another few minutes then back to bed. I feel so tired.

My surgeon also does his as outpatient. I'm scheduled for October 19.

I was outpatient too. We were home by 2pm and I'm glad. It was nice to be in my own bed. My mom and husband made sure I got my mess around the clock and really don't think I would have been any better off in the hospital.
