I will be having my RNY on Monday, March 21st. I'm ready. This is going to be a long week, I can tell. I'm already having trouble sleeping as I just keep thinking about the surgery and the post-surgery recovery process. I'm also not sure I'm going to have the most productive week at work!

Thank god for March Madness this weekend. Otherwise I could lose my mind prior to Monday.

Jus a quick update. Surgery was a success. Surgeon said it was straightforward, textbook surgery, no issues.

Which is good, because the pain I experienced for the first 4-5 hours post opt was the worst I've had in my life. I mean, it was scary bad. They finally got a pain combo that worked for me, plus the passage of time, and I feel human again.

Still taking the pain meds as I don't want to get "behind" the pain again, but my pain at this point is pretty low.

Just ice chips for now, but that's fine with me. Just thirsty.

Hope everyone else's went well today. And good luck over the next few days. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

The weather should just start getting better in Meeeeechigan in a couple weeks when you will be up and about.

Good luck @Roalmc77. While my first few hours were rough it's been smooth sailing ever since. Good luck, you'll do great.
