@@tagyourit I know what you mean. Had to take that iv bag everywhere. Not to mention the blood pressure cuff also. Glad to be home. Now take it easy and heal up. :) Do you have a drain?

My surgery was June 16th. Im still in hospital but going home today. Everything has went well. Just dealing with nausea. I have a drain which I was hoping I wouldn't. My dr recommends I go home with it until my post op visit.

I have only had broth and Jello and both tasted horrible, but sipping my Water. Good luck to everyone :)

I also had mine on the 16th and am drinking a Protein Shake that my surgeon said if that goes well, I will get to go home today as well! Congrats on doing well, it's still kind of surreal to me the thought that it's done and am on "the other side." Do you feel that at all too?

Yes, I can't believe it's done after all the waiting. Now we can start this new journey! I can't get much down but nothing has come up either. We have to give ourselves time to heal. Do you have a drain? My dr put one in. Not too happy that I have to have it until my post op visit. But he says it's just a precautionary thing. Glad you are doing good. Feels so much better to be in your own home. You will be home soon.

Surgery was 6/6/16 and went well. Surgery started late (scheduled for 11 AM didn't go back to OR until 1 PM). Of course by then I was hungry and thirsty! Was in recovery for 2 hours then taken to my room at 6 PM. I sent my boyfriend home at 9 since I was just drifting in and out. Got up to use the bathroom with assistance at shift change about 8 PM. Had the nurses help me to the restroom each time they were in to do meds and vitals. Got up to walk on Tuesday. I did well with the Water and had my popsicle each meal. After the initial bowl of broth I couldn't even stand the smell of it. It was soooo salty. Walked a couple of circles around the unit Wednesday and took a shower. Felt better after the shower. Dr released me 6 PM Wednesday. Picked up prescriptions and got home. Spent Thursday & Friday taking it easy. The pain killer knocked me out so I was napping every 4 hours.

Pain was not horrible but definitely uncomfortable for sleeping. Have just been sleeping overnight the last couple nights without any Tylenol. I get to start blended foods tomorrow and it's back to work Monday. Overall, happy with the results. Already down 18 pounds! Since I have not been able to lose more than 5 and then put it and more back on for over 20 years I am overjoyed! I can't wait until it is really visible!

To all those with surgery upcoming, prayers for an easy recovery and the quick passage of time prior!

No drain for me. I am excited to have the surgery over with but have had a few moments in the past 2 days about if I made a huge mistake. I know I didn't but my emotions are running on full steam. I think I will start to feel better as swelling goes down and I start to feel like myself.

Hi...

I just joined these forums today - Nice to meet everyone!

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I'm slightly terrified, lol.

I should have joined these boards ages ago, but life has just been really busy.

So since I have plenty of time off now, I guess today is as good a day as any.

Good luck to the rest of the June club! :)

I had mine June 9th. Spent one night in the hospital and was out 9pm the next day. At first I felt pretty crappy, but within a few days I was off of the pain medication. I had a drain for a week. It was a little uncomfortable and prevented me from sleeping on my right side which meant minimal sleep. Once that got removed I felt a whole lot better. Getting frustrated with my diet, though. They have me on four weeks of full liquids (should be three, but couldn't get an appointment any closer to the 3 week mark.. ugh). With the 2 week pre-op diet I lost 15lbs. Since surgery I've lost an additional 15lbs. Can't argue with those numbers, I guess. Just looking forward to something that isn't a Protein Shake, Crystal Light, Popsicle or Jello though.

@@Moogle I hear you. I'm only 5 days post op but have a drain until July 6th. I'ld feel wonderful if that was gone lol I am also on all Clear Liquids and shakes until July 6th. Just want some other flavor or something. Tired of the sweet shakes but gotta do it. :) Did it hurt to remove the drain? That is the only pain I seem to have is where the drain is.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
