im having the surgery may 4 and i have the same anxiety good luck and please tell us how u feel

I am home now. I have 6 small incisions. I am sore all over. Feel like I have been doing aerobics. Immediately following surgery, I was in a lot of pain, but by night time, I was up walking a cutting up with the nurses. All I was allowed to drink was poweraide zero. It was hard to get down the 48 ounces required for them to release me. YOU MUST SIP! If you take a big drink of it, it feels like a painful knot in your gut. I made myself a glass of chicken buillion cube and water when I arrived home. It was easier to drink than the powerade. I am not hungry at all. Surprisingly, I am not sleepy either. I am taking hydrocodone as needed, but only took 1 time today. I got 3 shots of blood thinner in my stomach. I never felt anything when they gave them. This morning, they gave me a B12, Thaimin, & Folic acid shots in my rear. VERY painful! I weighed 263 when I went in. I refuse to get on scale until I go for my follow up appt. in 2 weeks. I hope your surgery goes well for you!

I have a Appt. with my surgeron the 25th of this month !! Im exicted and scared at the same time !! I am coosing the sleeve becasue I feel its the best for me !! My friend had the lap band and hasnt lost that much weight and Im not to fond of having a port left inside of me !! Good Luck to you !!! Oh and George after you came home you felt better ???
