Took Emend ( nausea ) 0230

Checked in 0530

Surgery 0630

Wok up 0915

Not nauseous ( due to Emend )

Walked, chatted with nurses and doctor.

Check out 1345 ( 145p )

Been home almost 7 hours. Slight pain where drain is - have been walking dogs and made dinner for my family !!!

Nurse had this surgery and we compared notes about Emend ! We both went home the same day as surgery. I'm not a sales rep for Emend - however, I hate the nauseous feeling and this is the best !!!

So happy for me and for everyone on this journey ... thank you guys and gals support !!!

Congratulations on being "over and done". I hope you heal well and fast. Surgery is so much easier without the nausea. Nice you got in and out and safely home so fast. Now drink, drink and walk!

Since we can only sip - seems it takes forever to finish a glass of Water ???? but I finish and I have 2.5 dogs so I'm definitely walking. Slight pain this morning but no nausea and I have 5 scripts for nausea. So happy. No I can catch up on everyone else's stories !!! Thanks guy

Wow! Checked out of the hospital 7 1/2 hours after sleeve surgery and went home. Is this common?

Truth. Staying over was never a plan. I'm a cash patient and the surgical center where it was done ( on the grounds of a hospital ) doesn't have sleep overs. Dr Cottam has been doing the surgeries at this location for 12 years. As long as the Emend is taken prior to surgery and a good anesthesiologist is good - yes. I walk my dogs a mile every other hour. I take 1/2 pain med every 3-4 hours but I'm good. I have a drain bag attached I empty out - but overall I feel great !!!

It's amazing there are so many different 'procedures' for the same 'procedure' some don't have a 2 week diet some go home same day, I'm surprised there isn't more regulations on the surgeries.

I asked several doctors about this actually

I was on a pre op Clear Liquids for 1 week. He said its asked on your percentage. Higher % longer liquid diet Going home also depends on the anesthesiast ( spelling ). He spoke w me for 30 minutes before surgery explaining everyone and getting to know everything about me. They have lots of before surgery nausea pills - and when I had a lumpectomy 3 years earlier I got really sick - so he gave me a different dose of things during surgery. There were 9 people in the operating room 5 were from the anesthesiast office. I was groggy but not sick. I haven't needed any of the pills except for 2 pain pills so far

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
