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



Recommended Posts

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.

@@magicalwoman - good idea. catch up on your sleep and try to move and hydrate when you are awake today. tomorrow if you can try OTC pain meds and still hydrate and move...

Like your new seat, on the losers bench???

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.

I had my surgery yesterday too and won't be out until at least tomorrow morning. I'm exhausted though, nurses come in every 30 mins it seems like lol.

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.

@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 :)

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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
