My surgery (bypass) was yesterday the 27th. My surgeon said everything went well. He also repaired my hiatal hernia. Aside from the gas I was inflated with, I haven't had a lot of pain, just discomfort (I'd say 3 on a scale of 10). I took a nice long walk yesterday to help. I've been sipping icy cold water, which I know some have had problems with. Later this morning, I'm being discharged. Then the real fun begins. [emoji4]

Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing your progress!

Thank you! I just wanted to keep everyone updated. I've been trying really hard to follow instructions and it's made it easy so far. Hopefully the next few days and weeks at home are as easy as my hospital stay. The nurses have said that since I haven't had an nausea, that's a really good sign. Most of their patients do and keeping water down has been a struggle.

I'm amused how I've seen commercials for food and while in my head, it looks delicious, I'm not hungry at all. [emoji4] It's crazy! But I know this will all be worth it!
