The last 2 weeks have gone sooo fast, I haven't had time to update...

 

Anyway, all went well in the hospital. I had the op Tuesday morning; the leak test Thurs morning; came off IV drips Thurs midday and had my first sip of water that tasted like champagne, it was so good!

 

I washed and blow-dried my hair Thursday and that felt so good! I had my staples out Saturday morning, and was home by midday.

 

The nurse calls in every day to give me a blood thinning injection, and I had to wear thigh high surgical stockings continually from the operation until yesterday.

 

I'm driving my car again now, which is great.

 

My next check up with Dr Boullenois is 22 July. I have a whole heap of questions for him!

 

I feel fabulous, wish I had done this a year ago!

 

All I need to sort out is what to eat and when. Conflicting information is making me nervous..... But I shall get it all sorted this week :scared0:

Wow! I can't believe the difference in post-op care! I had my surgery on 6/29 in the USA. I went in Monday morning for surgery, had my leak test Tuesday morning, and was home by 4pm on Tuesday. The first few days home were tough for me, I wish the kept me in the hospital a few more days, but insurance wouldn't cover it. I'm als feeling fabulous now, down 24 lbs. including the 14 lost during my pre-op diet.

:scared0:I just cannot imagine having been well enough to go home the day after surgery; I was still on drips and oxygen!

I react badly to anaesthetic, and in fact in the early hours of the Wednesday (day after my op) I was heaving so much, I actually (sssshhhh) peed the bed :blushing::blushing: I was mortified, but the nurses were so nice, got me sorted in no time :blush: I could have gone home Friday I think, and I was raring to go on Saturday!
