Had my surgery on the 7th. Got out of the hospital yesterday morning. So far, pretty good. A few minor gas pains and sore shoulder, but nothing unbearable so far.

Wishing you all luck if your surgery is today or upcoming!

Good for the most part. Transitions are painful (rolling from back to side, sit to/from stand, sit to/from laying down. Shoulder pain gets less the more I pass gas (I have never been so excited to fart in my life [emoji1787])

I was released from the hospital the next day, which I was determined to do, however, it was nice that the nurses were there regulating when I needed to take my meds.

I recommend getting a belly band! I'm so glad I have mine I think it just keeps everything together nice and snug while you are recovering :).

My parents are staying with me, which is awesome. Definitely have a good support system to come home to [emoji3]

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
