Aww! Glad everything went well. Thanks for following up! I will consider the heating pad. I had gallbladder surgery and had trapped gas in my shoulder. Holy crap, I wasn’t ready for that but this time I know at least what to expect in that regards.

Anyone have a final decision appointment? I guess it is with the nutritionist and surgeon

Yes, I had one with surgeon and nutrition is to schedule the pre-ops and final nutrion overview.

Hi All, one day later..I am home. Admittedly in a little pain, but tolerable. Check in wa 6 am yesterday, surgery at 8: 15 to recovery by 10 in room by 2. The heating pad was for the back ache caused by the surgery table, to control pain, and help dispel gas. I highly recommend it. They wouldn't let me use mine even tho' surgeon recommended it but room put in an order for it had it by 6pm. Was up and walking by 7. Worst experience was nausea from the sickly sweet Tylenol, gabepetin, hydrocortisone liquid after surgery meds. Sipped Water by time got to room, but they would not allow ice chips. I had such a dry mouth still do. Walked again at midnight, and at 5 am. My potassium IV was hell, it burned so badly. I was grumpy with nurses - apologized. : \ My 8 am walk was a breeze but I still had surgery gas to dispel. You can tell bc your shoulder might hurt. Was packed and ready to go by 11. Had a wait at hospital pharmacy for oxycotin...BUT now home, climbed the fifteen steps to 2nd foot easily, but honestly my gut is sore. Started the Protein in room, did not want to stay down but now doing fine.

They did say to expect pain. I have minor soreness. That's all.
Thanks for all well wishes, on phone do can't quote ppl.
Y'all will be fine. I'm the biggest wimp in world, so you can do it!!received_2630555550295529.thumb.jpeg.42109d8b7ec40366f2b81d210ebc8531.jpeg

Glad to hear everything went well and thank you for the hearing pad tip. Which surgery did you have? Any helpful suggestions on what to pack? I've got found the packing cousin yet.

Well, I packed a small suitcase but nothing in it was used. No need for robe. Just charger, phone or tablet, hairbrush, clothes to put on for way home, but I just put on the ones I wore there. Eye drops if you want. That's all I needed.

Day 3 no stomach pain at all. However, I did not sleep all night due to pain from the IV arm. It burned all night. I put a heating pad on it but to no avail. I've been sipping Water. Small amts of Protein and I just had a popsicle. Was worried about volume but doing ok.

VSG scheduled for Jan 11 with Dr. Ortiz. Can’t seem to get a response from ANYONE about their experience there. But so far dealing with them has been great.

Wish you and all other Jan Buddies the best on this new adventure and path towards optimal health. God bless you.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
