make sure to take a pillow for ride home to put beteeen your belly and seatbelt. Mine was a day surgery process so I went home that afternoon. Brought my cpap in the event I stayed over. Gas pains was the main thing but they kept telling me to burp while I was walking to help get the air out. Congrats and good luck!

Omgoodness, you was able to go home the same day. I have a 2 night stay, due to the 1 1/2 drive home.

You'll knock it out. I had about 45 minute ride home. Might also want to take nausea meds before ride home. Just because of the pain meds in your system might make the ride home easier.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
