Well yay for me! I DID IT!

I dunno what all you people were talkin about that it was easy as pie. Granted the surgery didnt take long at all but i was miserable all day after surgery yesterday.

I went in at 530am....had the surgery at 730 and all i can remember from there was waking up at 10am in recovery. Then they took me to my room and i fell asleep from all the meds i was on. I slept on and off til like 7pm...then i was finally awake....watched some tv and then went back to bed. Nurses came in like 4 times from then on til 7am and i had just gotten to sleep for a good and was having a good dream and the dang radiologist came in and got me for my upper GI. YUCK YUCK YUCK is what i say about that. All went well for that tho...and so they gave me some Clear Liquids and told me if i could get those down then i was free to go.

So i did it and didnt have any problems getting it down....and now im home.

I do have pain i will admit. My right side hurts like hell...the dr said thats my port side....the left side doesnt hurt at all and it has most the little insicions. So the Dr gave me some pain meds that get shit up my nose....ewwww...i told myself i wasnt gonna use that but when i got home i was beggin for something so i broke down and now ive got it. Best decision i made it helped me sleep all afternoon and took the edge off my aches.

I would have to say everyone at the Hospital was great and overall i would definately do it again. This pain is nuthin compared to the pain i had with my C-section for my daughter.

I lost 12 pounds in the one week for my clear liquid diet!!!! Thats exciting!!!

Im gonna go lay down a bit again...i am kinda groggy still...but thanks to all of you for all the good luck wishes i got!!!!

Wow, it's a trip hearing about other people's stories. You sound like you've got your sense of humor, which you'll need when the gas starts coming out! You mean they gave you nasal pain drops? Never heard of that one before. And is the Upper GI afterwards a standard test they do now?

Good luck to you, and a big congrads!

Yippie for you.

I'm 7 days out from being banded and I'm doing great except for when I try to eat regular food and forget that mushy liquid is what I need.

Congrats again and a good word of advice stay off regular foods for 2 weeks minimum or you may feel bad after eating.

      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.
