[BBweightlossjourney 49]

My surgery was Tuesday May 10th @7am.

SW 236lbs

Pre-op before 2 week liquid diet 238lbs

Last weigh in with Surgeon 5/2 230lbs

Day of surgery 222lbs

I'm doing well with every passing day..

I have to say it was everything I expected and then it was not what I expected.

As the Doctor was trying to wake me up out of the Anesthesia, the pain was very overwhelming. I had two children both were vaginal natural births. The Sleeve tops them in pain and discomfort. It hurt to talk , move and forget about trying to get out of bed.. But I am learning to position myself and lean on a small step stool I have near my king size bed.

The nurses and Doctor were all wonderful ! I was asked about pain every hour or so , assistance was offered to me so that I can walk, I just couldn't the day of surgery).

I'm thankful for all the advice and support from all you.

Packing my bag , I just needed -ChapStick , tooth brush and tooth paste. Everything else I was not allowed to use, this particular hospital only wants you in their clothing oh and my cellphone charger I had.

Even though I'm enduring some veryyy uncomfortable Gas feelings, I'm happy with my decision.

I'm taking the pain meds around the clock , I realized very early , that I need to stick to the schedule.

Thanks again everyone !!

I will update on Sunday.. ????
