had my surgery today!



Recommended Posts

had my surgery today at 1100

I would say it was a success . ...I wanted to share for those awaiting their surgery

The anesthesia was good, I was joking with the surgical staff then next I was waking up in recovery.

I have a pain pump....not using it excessively. I have not been allowed to sip yet....the dry mouth is no joke! ha ha. I have a swab and ice Water...so that is a plus.

I'm not nauseous....no pain...no gas pressure (yet) I did get up and urinated.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair....I actually feel human again!

I did get an abdominal band....this is a good thing to have.

all is well......hope you don't mind the ramblings....hey, I AM medicated. haha

good night friends!

Hey buddy!! I just had mine on Tuesday and just got home. Glad to hear your journey is also going well! I think we are one of the lucky few with hopefully good surgery and recovery stories! The greatest feeling was coming home and taking a shower. I feel so good now. Just relaxing on my couch watching Netflix now.

      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?
