Good Luck! It's been 1 weeks since my surgery. Just remember the reason why you're doing this. It helped me through tough moments when I had pain. And if you have no help taking showers, I put my hair band around my neck and pinned my drain to it and it helped taking showers! God bless you and I wish you the best of luck!:)

Update: surgery went great!! The pain has been very manageable. The worse part has been the gas pains but the more I get up and around the better it feels

Yes I went home the same day as my surgery. I've been feeling pretty good. The worst part in the beginning was the gas pains. The incisions are sore but manageable. The only thing bothering me now is the GI spasms but the medication takes care of them. I've been so lucky to have no nausea or vomiting.

        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!!
