Had my Surgery Today in the Morning...



Recommended Posts

I'm in my hospital bed.. had my gastric sleeve surgery this morning..had to be here at 530am surgery was started at 745am..im in some pain but nothing like I thought it would be. The area where is the biggest incision is the one that hurts the most..i have had two pain meds so far today . About to have another..Gas med and got a shot in my belly to prevent blod clots. My husband had to leave to be home w. Our children. So now I'm just laying here drifting in and,out of sleep. Waiting for greys anatomy and scandal to come back on tonight. They had brought me two trays of food today. Both trays had a bowl of chicken broth, dcaf tea Water flavored crystal light .. I wonder if they r gonna bring me the same thing in the morning.

I have walked 3x. Urinated a lot prob from iv drip.. have had 1 1/2 bottles of water so far.. just wanted to update on my first day.

Great to see that you are doing well!!!! I just had my bypass on Jan 4. I had the same meal after surgery (stage 1). Then by day two being in the hospital I was on stage 2 and the only thing added was the Protein mix.

FOR THE BEST!!!!

Had mine this morning to! I feel great everywhere except under the middle of my rib cage. Terrible pain there. Still trying to get a full breath.

So much better now. I walked, took a leak, & got moved into a huge room. If things only improve the next few days then this was a breeze.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
