I woke up from surgery not regretting a thing (Think because I was given pain meds when I was asleep on the way to recovery room) I was there for 3 hours total even when I was okay. I had to pee, but I wanted to wait until I had gotten my room, because I was not used to the idea of a bed pan. I found out the incision near my belly button started bleeding a bit even after being glued. But it got patched, which is good. Overall, I was happy for a short time until I got into my room. I got pretty emotional and started crying when my fiancé wouldn't answer his phone, I called 20 times because I wanted him here with me. He ended up coming two hours later.

Just tonight, I walked 5 times, the two times I got up to walk, I walked 2 laps, and then just one an hour later because gas pain was getting pretty bad (I had not passed gas all today.) the pain was a 7, so I was just given pain meds to help me sleep. So far the pressure of the gas is still there, but the pain is a 2-3.

The nurses are so nice. My highest weight was 360, today my surgery weight is 337. My goal is 160, and my height is 5'7 1/2.

Overall, today was good. I was not nervous, I was calm. I woke up high and yelling "Hey you!" To a nurse and telling her how pretty she is.

Here I am.

I just wanted to tell my experience from yesterday. I get discharged this late morning.

Thank you, I will enjoy it. Haven't passed any gas yet, but I stopped drinking broth and protein shake to decrease the air intake.

Woohoo! Glad you are on your way, hang in there!

Thank you! I shall hold on!

Keep up the great work wishing you the best.

Thank you! I shall heal well~

It gets better. I used gas X strips and they work. Did not need any pain meds. Just keep walking[emoji3].

You are my female counterpart. All your numbers are almost exactly the same as mine. My highest weight was 362. My surgery weight was 326 and my goal is 170. I also was cut yesterday and at the hospital. Keep me posted on your journey and lean on me if needed. Eddie.

Thanks, I got sent home today. I was told by my doctor, that I could go home today or stay longer... I wish I could of stayed a bit longer to rid the gas pain. I don't regret the surgery, but I wish I was still in the hospital for another day or two. I thought one was supposed to stay until the gas was gone. I just took gas x and I am still very uncomfortable.
