Yesterday I finally had my surgery! The Doctor said it was easy peasy and went fantastically! My liver looked great and I was done in 40 minutes.

They had me stay overnight and have been cranking me full of pain and nausea meds. I still am not even close to hungry. I am laying here with my trusty ice chips. The pain was pretty intense this morning, but it has gotten better throughout the day.

I got up a couple of times and did my laps around the nurses station. Everyone has been extraordinarily helpful and kind. Overall it has been smoothe sailing. I am hoping to be able to discharge tonight! Hopefully on my way to a speedy recovery! Thank you all for helping me calm down before my surgery yesterday!

Thats great news and you are off to an awesome start.

VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you start getting your liquids. If you don't, onset of constipation and gout will follow.

Congrats! Good luck on your recovery and new journey!

I was sleeved on Monday. Today is the first day I truly feel better. The gas was horrible, no hunger pains. The walking truly sucked but I think it helped. I am finally passed the "what the hell did I do to myself" stage...
