Hey guys , it's done ! I did it ! Surgery went well with no problems at all . Surprisingly I'm doing ok . I'm not feeling any pain right now (might be fro all the morphine I'm on ) but a little discomfort on my chest from the breathing tube. As soon as I woke up I had very bad nausea and drowsiness, and that's seems gone now! I was in recovery for a while too before they sent me to my room! I'm so happy it's over and now I can focus on recovering! I love the team here at GW hospital DC.

Thank you all for the best wishes and prayers!

Hope everyone is ok

That's awesome @@workingmom163! I'm glad both of you are doing well after surgery @@Purplej and @mel2k16. I'm 5 days away from bypass surgery and getting a bit nervous. I'm more excited and anxious than nervous.

You'll do just fine. It really isn't as bad as you think although I keep hearing some woman wailing at the top of her lungs down the hall. Probably just wants attention. Everyone else is quiet.

@@Donegirl4life - you got this!

@@Purplej - So glad things have been good! It makes me hopeful for a similar outcome!

I just found out my surgery may be delayed. I've developed an upper respiratory infection and have to bump up the steroids I take. That may potentially cause a risk of increased infection. If we can't bring them down before surgery - it's getting rescheduled. To say I'm upset is putting it lightly.

I'm so sorry your surgery was postponed . Better safe then sorry though. It WILL happen and you'll be glad you did it! I'm progressing well and am on fluids now. Should go home tomorrow.

Hang in there!

I'm going through the mayo Clinic as well, my surgery date is April 6 which is 2 days before my birthday. They are also doing a research study and following my case. My life is at risk from other medical problems so they are fast tracking me. I'm suppose to loose 20 more lbs before surgery. It's so hard due to my pain levels but I'm doing my best.

@@sunshine1531 OMG congratulations! It's a great feeling, isn't it?

@@dustydaisy - WOO! Which mayo Clinic? I'm in Arizona. Yeah, they don't play around with it here. I'm so intrigued by all of the research studies they do here.

      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?
