?????????????????????

Not many may know but I require a revision from VSG to RNY. There are several reasons but none are regain or weight related (I've had no regain) I am scheduled for July 15, 2019.

?????????????????????

I can't deny I am slightly nervous because who wants more surgery after WLS that isn't cosmetic ? but I'm taking it day by day.

I will keep updating this thread now that i have a place to keep my story

Hahaha and there it is!!! Our little GT's morphine smile! Congrats on a successful surgery and such a sweet smile of victory!!!

LOL, on another note, I just found this thread (again). LOL. I say again, cuz I vaguely remember reading it the first time in my own morphine haze thinking first: Happy Birthday to our sweet and hilarious GT, then second thinking that perhaps you might be dead, curled in a fetal position dumping in the back of the bus to hell. ROFLMAO! This morning I find this thread and realize I hadn't dreamed it!!!

So glad surgery went well (from the photo) now we just need lots more piccies and a blow by blow!!! Are you up and walking already???!!! I thought of you this morning as I did my walk, walk!!!!

What I packed in my hospital bag

Feminine Wipes, deodorant, travel toiletries ]](tooth brush & paste. Lipgloss, eye drops, sunscreen cream), flipflops, turban, underwear, eyemask & ear plugs,, note pad, cami & shorts, robe, wristlet.

Real talk ... sunscreen? Are you walking the halls or going on a hike? ?

Yall know I'm vain!!! ?????????

Joking the sunscreen cream is mixed in my face lotion. And its my everywhere travel pack

Arrived at the hospital at 630 am.

Registered and was taken to preop area to collect samples amd change clothes.

I was immediately started on lactaded ringers (IV drip), vitals taken , met with the anesthesiologists then my surgeon. Asked final questions i was unclear about. & received answers

Taken into the OR and was pit under general anesthesia. Awaken briefly in recovery where i advocated for the proper pain meds (morphine does not work for me), fell asleep again to be awaken when i was in my room where my lovely Boyfriend was already waiting. Amazing. Feeling.

Labs & vitals every couple hours but I got up to walk around. Told my Guy to go home around 11pm so he could rest properly.

Walked again 4-5 am, then started the water protocol at 6 am but fell asleep again. Now im resuming the drinking amd spirometerji

All in all not terrible ?

Real talk: Feminine wipes???? I could have gone my whole life without knowing how you keep your fresh as a daisy sassy self ramblin' on! bahahahahaha! (Although, I did fall down by not thinking to take my sleep mask and ear plugs!)
