So today was my surgery. I was at the hospital at 7am and I was done with surgery and recovery and in my private room by 11:30. It was so smooth and all the staff has been so polite and nice, coming to this hospital was the best choice for me and doing this surgery was the best decision. My stomach does not hurt so much but my back is killing me from all the gas. I knew it would hurt but i didn’t know this much. Some friends came to visit which was very nice to know i had support and I’m so happy to start this new journey of life.

Congrats! Some people have said that walking really helps with the gas--I didn't notice any pain from that, so can't say. But use whatever pain meds you are given in the hospital. You won't need them for long.

Best of luck!

so Acuttita, how are you feeling on Surgery Day +1? When do you get sprung from the hospital? Even if it is a nice place, I'm sure you want to go home😝

Well last night I didn’t sleep much and I still have a little pressure from my incision sites but I saw my surgeon this morning and he gave me the green light to go home, I’m just waiting on my discharge papers. I do have a little headache but I’m eager to get home and rest in my own bed, hopefully then I will get some sleep. Overall I’m happy with my decision surgery wise, hospital wise and surgeon wise.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
