Well, I had my surgery on May 24th at Mercy Hospital by Dr. Bonomo.

All went well until, recovery! I was in sooooo much pain and the nurses kept saying to breathe. Can you believe that! BREATHE and I'll fell better no more morphine and I'll feel better. The hospital experience was horrible! I got to my room at 12:30pm and I didn't get a work up from the nurses until 5:00pm no vitals, no bed pan, no nothing!! They didn't want to take the time to help me walk so they just wanted to leave the leg pumpies on so I wouldn't get blood clots. My husband was there thank the lord and we got up and walked a couple hours later and he changed my bed pans and had to page them for my pain meds. I will never go to that hospital again, for any operation. It was plain awful. I was very disappointed that the surgeon didn't make rounds the next day and his nurse did. I think that was kind of unprofessional. I mean you pay someone that amount of money you think they would make their own rounds! Anyway, the pain has been awful I am taking my vicodine and ibuprofen and tylenol and I am still in pain! The four small incisions do not hurt it is the big one under my left breast where the port is that is freaking killing me. Oh well, it's done and I have lost 25lbs before the surgery and I am hoping to see a lower number at my first weigh in. I am already soooo sick of this liquid diet. The gas pain has been a little intense, it seems to be settling under my collar bone. Well write more later...
