Day of my surgery

Hi Everyon I'm actually in hospital in my own private room just seen my surgeon and signed my consent form, had nothing to eat or drink since yesterday and have a headache but I will be going down in a moment or two. just had blood taken and an injection in my stomach the nurse said it was a blood thinner and I would have to inject myself when I get home OMG never done anything like that to myself but she said they will show me how to do it. Looking all positive now wish me luck. Will blog as soon as I get back when I'm able.

Had my op now and in my room

Hi everyone had my surgery at 1500hrs today, I was quite sick after the anesthetis so it was a bit rough, but slept it off.   I had no pain meds just feels like I had pulled a muscle in my tummy not sure if that was from wretching .   Been to the loo on my own so 1st step achieved, but no one told me about the green pee !!!!!!!!!!!!!   my surgeon told me that when he has stapled the stomach he glues it then sews over it then puts blue dye into my stomach to see if there are any leaks. Guess thats why he doesn't get any leakage from his patients.

New Start for New Year Gastric Sleeve op 7/1/2011

new to this site and wanted to share my journey with you I am sgoing to have my Gastric Sleeve op on Friday (7/1/2011) at Manchester Priory Hospital I have been told that Mr Basil Ammori will be performing the operation. I went throught a company called Healthier Weight which has a branch in Birmingham, they were really friendly and understanding to my personal situation even thought my BMI is not that high at the moment it seems that the situation is only going to get worse my BMI is 32 I'm 5' 6" and nearly 14 stone I have put on 4 stone over 5 years and keep very fit down the gym 3-4 times per week still couldn't stop the hungy bear that lives in my stomach. So Friday its bye bye hungry bear. will keep you updated.

2days post op at home now

well I slept better last night but keep getting up for the loo. Still had no pain meds as they are fizzy and taste like shit and make me gag so I haven't bothered just feels like a pulled muscle. I had some slimfast for my breakfast and might try some tom soup later. Got on the scales and lost 7lbs amazing so loving it so far. Just gonna take it easy today and chill out but nice to be home.

Day after my op

Well did n't get much sleep they put these pad things on my legs that pump air in and out to keep the circulation going so I don't get a clot but it was really difficult to sleep, but was up and about walking abit like an old granny had some jelly and broth, the hotter liquids seem to go down easier than cold fluids. When my surgeon came to see me I was actually up and about and said I looked fine and how I felt and I said a bit rough after the anesthetic but ok apart from that so he said do you want to go home I said yes that would be great so I left the hospital about 26hrs after my surgery. I do hate hospitals and couldn't wait to get out. So got to sleep in my own bed and hot milk with a soup spoon it was ok.

Day 3 post op

I slept really well last night could even sleep on my side, I got up this morning and felt really weak thought I was going to faint so I decided to have some ready break very wishy washy mind you and real sugar seems to have done the trick I think its time to start the protine shakes as I need some energy. Amazing I have lost 9lbs in the last 5 days thinking that might be a bit too quick as I do not have that much to loose about 56lbs in total. But feeling good about it, by the way I have no pain today as that was a bit of a problem one sleever recommended liquid calpol which tastes nice but haven't really needed it. I'm not sure how much moving around I should be doing but just keep pottering round the house not sure if I'm over doing it.
