It'll be here before you know it! Congrats!

I installed an iOS app call T-Zero that'll do a countdown.

Yes, I created a countdown until the 27th.

I did the same thing! I totally understand. I've got one going now for my estimated plastic surgery date.

Getting things packed for tomorrow morning.

I have to be at the hospital by 6 AM, and then surgery is scheduled for 8 AM.

The doctor has decided he is going to fix the hernia as well as do the bypass.

Initially, he was going to wait on the hernia repair until everything healed up inside.

I am looking forward to this new path in my life, and have no regrets.

Surgery went just fine.

Five holes in my belly.

He put in three sutures to repair the hernia, so that's the thing is giving me the most pain now.

No gas pain to be had. Coughing is a nightmare at the hernia repair site.

Was released on Saturday afternoon to full fluids, which surprised me.

My surgery weight was 283, and this morning I was at 277.2. That's the lowest I have been in several years.

Congrats!!! I know it feels great to be down to a weight you haven't seen in years.

I was sleeved on 10/27 at 271lbs. Also had my gallbladder removed and the combination caused severe nausea. I'm feeling so much better now! With the drain and gallbladder removal I ended up with six holes. The worst for me is the drain site. I too experienced no gas pain whatsoever. This morning I was down to 254.4lbs which is pretty amazing.

As of today, I'm at 274.2 pounds. I'm not stressing about the amount of weight I have or have not lost so far. It'll leave eventually. :-)

I can't remember the last time I was in that area, weight-wise.

My gut feels fine, but the hernia area is sore and testy. Tramadol isn't helping, nor is Norco. :-(

Meanwhile, I slept about 12 hours from last night till today. I figure it was just my body demanding quiet recovery time.

You absolutely should not stress about it! It will come off and your are doing great so far. I hope the hernia area heals soon. Listen to your body and rest up! I'm jealous have a two year old so I won't see 12 hours of sleep for another 16 years lol.

I'm at 252 today and my main complaint is I'm suuuuper constipated! Have my post op in an hour and I'm hoping i can get some tips on this from my doc. It's the worst feeling.

sleep in 16 years? My daughter is 33 and I still have trouble sleeping. Your parents are already laughing about your misconception.
