Hiya

Well it’s the day of my surgery today. I’m in my gown ready to go down to the operating theatre. A bit nervous and excited at the same time. Eek 😬

Praying for a successful surgery for you and for you to be able to get through the nausea and first day recovery. Congratulations!

Hi

i had my surgery at about 11:45 and was back in the ward at 3. Have had to sit up all afternoon to help with the wind. I’m hoping to get in to bed in a bit just for a change of scenery! The pain it bearable but uncomfortable and I have dry heaved a few times but finger crossed no sick yet.

I managed a glass of Water so far but I am on a drip and and antibiotics so not pushing it. I have been on 3 walks up and down that corridor and am managing to pee ok.

keeping fingers crossed for an ok night

So glad to hear you are doing well so far. Just keep on walking and sipping. Your new job for the next couple of days.

Sounds like you're doing really well. Welcome to your new life!

[GradyCat 3,692]

Sounds like you're doing GREAT. Good luck on your WLS Journey!

Thanks guys

Was in a bit of pain over night and felt sick, but this is much better now. All my drips are off and I am doing 2 laps of the corridors at a time. Only issue I’m having now is reflux!

Hoping to go home this evening

Hi, congrats on your surgery! This is kind of a random question, but did you have any visitors with you? Were they allowed in the room with you after? How did that work?

[Doodle41 22]

Hi. No I wasn’t allowed any visitors at all. My husband just had to drop me off and pick me up outside the main door. To be honest I would have been too out of it the first day for visitors and the next day I was concentrating on waking and sipping and then went home that evening so it wasn’t the end of the world. The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more supportive as well xx

I’m sorry you couldn’t have visitors my husband stayed in the hospital in my room the entire 3 days I was in. Sleeved 12/2021. I’m glad he did I threw up all night and was glad he was there to help me and get the nurses for me it was scary
