Pre op stuff and what did you feel like when you woke up from your bypass surgery?

[Tomo 1,157]

I had a very easy recovery. I had a slight sore throat (lasted about 3 days) and a bit groggy when I woke up (slept through it after they woke me up), both due to the anesthesia. I went home the following morning and slept through day two, comfortably. My stomach felt like I did a bunch of sit-ups but I didn't have gas pains because I chewed mini Mylanta gas tabs. No nausea, was able to drink Water with no problem. By day 3, I was already working as usual from my desk at home.

Good luck!

Hey all! I'm home from the hospital.
A bit about my experience:
I woke up in recovery the most nauseous. I was throwing up.

When I was transported to my room the nauseous wore off but supposedly it was from the anesthesia and gas pushing on my stomach.

As soon as they gave me my anti inflammatory in the IV I felt better and slept on and off throughout the night. I was up and walking day of surgery and drinking 6 oz of Water each hour.

Day 2 is much harder. The nerve block is wearing off so I have pain in my torso but that doesn't bother me. The most annoying part is my throat and esophagus pain. Getting ready to take a pain pill and drift off to sleep. I have so much phlegm that I can't get out..hopefully that comes out soon when I'm able to cough.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. I'm so glad it's over now and I can focus on recovery and adjusting to the new stomach.
