Surgery a success!

[genn 460]

I read and watched so many horror stories of the pain people are in after surgery and the problems that people have. I'm so thankful and feel so blessed I had my surgery at 8 am this morning I was so afraid of the pain I was in store for. But I feel amazing!!!! Very little pain very little gas. I have taken now a total of 7 walks. The first one right off the stretcher comming to my room from recovery lol they said you ready to scoot into the bed I said no I'm ready to walk lol. The dr said my liver was great and he could tell I did well with the pre op diet. I said and the worst part was I didn't realize till the seventh day that I was allowed to have creamed Soups lol so I did all liquids until then. Duhhhhh. He laughed. The nurses said they are amazed that they have never seen a patient do this well directly afterwards. Honestly I just feel like I did a few hundred sit ups. So for those of you who are worried. Don't be so worried. I spent way to much time fearing the worst instead of expecting the best. I was supposed to be here till Thursday but was told by the dr this evening that if I'm doing this well still tomorrow they are going to let me go home which is absolutely wonderful. Considering I haven't slept since I woke up in recovery bc this bed is not comfortable at all!!!!! And it's very noisy in here!!! And i have never been away from my munchkins on a holiday so hoping everything stays smooth sailing!!! Best wishes to all!!!!

I had the sleeve 3 years ago and it was hell. Had the bypass Nov 7 and could not believe the difference. I too have felt great. Down 22 pounds. So happy you are feeling good as well.
