Hi Katkatlady and everyone else..

I made it!!! It went fine. I started at 1’sh and in my room around 7pm.. felt really groggy.. not much pain but did have a bad headache from stuff given in surgery.. got my patch behind ear!! Since I got back to my room so late that they weren’t pushing me to walk around this floor.. but did get up ALOT to use the bedside commode. Couldn’t figure out why I was peeing so much... ohhh yaaa, the IV lol but have been cruising the halls since.. going home in a few minutes... it was better than I expected although my tummy is a bit sore and bloated... and so far NO GAS!!! I’m sure this is just the calm before the storm lol I don’t know my weight as if yet, will check tomorrow morning.. I had a little mini goal for myself before I went into surgery and I made it!! Woohoo. Dr said he took out a lot of old scars and adhesion from prior surgeries...

before I could leave I had drink 1 oz of Water which went down fine, slow but fine... and then later they had me try broth, Jello and tea. All was fine but not hungry so took me awhile... the staff was the best! I didn’t sleep much since surgery but that’s pretty normal...

ths is for sure my start of my new life and journey.. I’m excited for the new life.

side note tho,, my friend that came over from another neighbor island ended up being admitted to hospital for her kidney (which has a stone and now is greatly infected.. and she’s had a brain tumor for 7 years but recently started growing again so the soecialisthsre are helping her.. her island doesn’t have much medical so they are usually sent here for medical reasons... so I’m getting released and she is staying... interesting how God works..she’s getting the good care she needed here if she accepts it.

so how is everyone doing after their surgeries??? Been telling the nurses about this group and how I love hearing others start and progress...

blessing my bariatric family!

Hi everyone! I'm doing okay, just very sore. I had my gallbladder out also and the Dr said it was tough to get out. I had a lot of stones in there. I've been sipping Water and a Protein Shake today. I should be going home in the morning.

Glad you are doing good.. I get the sore part.... but I had the patch behind ear so not nausea... kind of feels like a herd of horses are trotting by lol well not a herd but sore but not as bad I was expecting.

when did you have your surgery?
