I’m July 30th also

Hey all. I am now 4 days post op. It has been an adventure, but thought I would share. My surgery was scheduled for 9:15 am Thurs morning, I was wheeled back around 9:30 so not to bad. Surgery took about 2hours (RNY) they also did a liver biopsy, and egd, and found and repaired a hiatal hernia. I woke up in A LOT of pain. They tried to get me up and walking when I got to my room but I was shaky, dizzy, light headed and super nacseous (Know that's spelled wrong). That first night was very very rough but they left a catheter in so I didn't have to get up till morning. My pain meds were not lasting I could get something every four hours but my pain surged back to full after 2hours. I must have felt bad because it seems like I told everyone I wanted to die. [emoji45].

This is not to scare anyone I swear stick with me because my 9 the next morning less than 24 hours after my surgery it was already SO MUCH BETTER. In the morning I grabbed a resident and told him to address my pain what they had me on was not working. He listened and they staggered my pain meds between two kinds. My mom (who is 5weeks post-op) pushed and got that catheter out to make me get up, and got me on water. Then my mom set me in a chair in the bathroom in my room and washed my arms and back legs and face...she basically reminded me I was human and to stop saying I wanted to die! I did my first full lap around the bariatric floor and didn't feel like dieing. I was officially on the mend.

It is going g to be rough, gas pain is no joke, I think the majority of my pain was gas and hiatal hernia. But you will get through it, tell them what you need, and have support there for you that know what you need, will fight for you, remind you you are worth fighting for, and who will sit and hold your hand when nothing else helps.

@ Nnoi I have been so worried about you! Been watching anxiously for fear something had gone wrong, well I guess,it did because it didn't go real smooth. Dang, I wanted you to only have the best of everything. Well tomorrow I meet with Dr Needleman, let's hope I get My date so I can join you in post-surgery*land?, If he insists on a 2 week I'll barely make July. Oh I'll take it I'll take it. July 25th he's helping Dr M at Children's for MercMerc's surgery, if I had got the choice that is the day I would have chose, it would have been my parents 75th W.A.?and it would have been a way to feel close to them both.?

I'm having surgery July 26 VSG!! I'm not scared, just so excited about starting a new life!!

I’m super anxious about Wednesday. I’m so worried I’m going to wake up and they didn’t do the surgery. I keep looking over my labs and wondering why my numbers are the way they are and will everything be good enough. Anyways, it’s the final count down!!!

Just got the call from the hospital, surgery is 7am tomorrow morning
