I am in Berkeley... 3 days post op. feeling horrible!!!

Am very sick.....I have been throwing up everything. I wish I could hold down my pain meds at least! My tummy hurts from wrenching and dry heaving. I am tired. My surgeon called and said if I can't hold Water down, I would have to go back to Kaiser emergency. Sipping water now.....I sleep and throw up. That is it! Please tell me this will go away quickly... Miserable over here!!!

How are you holding up, sweetie? I am doing well....thinking about you!

Afternoon everyone! Well, I had my surgery yesterday! It was awful waking up from the anesthesia- I was sooooo sick, dry heaving with horrible cotton mouth sucks. The nurses gave my everything they had for nausea. Didn't work? Nope...... So, it was a long night of checking my pulse and getting up to pee. They must have filled my abdomen with the Panama Canal! Good new is, I am home. I have a buttload of meds to take. I had the pharmacist make me a meds time sheet. Laying on the couch, sipping chicken broth with horrible gas. I am bloated and get the hiccups every time I get up to walk. Bottom line, I am home, it is over, I am on a new road- just learning to drive slow... Jona

Whaaaaat!!!!!! Good luck!! I will post when I wake up..... Thanks everyone for the courage!!

My apartment has never been this clean!!! This entire month has been a blur...nothing has been as important as June 20th, 2012,,! Congrats on your date, I will think of you!

Can't sleep..... I have to be at Kaiser Richmond CA at 10:30 in the morning! My actual surgery is at 12:30. I don't really have any support...my mom is taking me and is not very happy with my choice to have my sleeve. " you are losing the weight, why get the surgery!" I am getting my sleeve for my own reasons. I am a single mom. I have 2 children. I am going to turn 44 on June 21st...I will be in the hospital!!! I am not getting any younger. Losing the weight will give me back nine or so more years with my babies!!! Enough said, right? Wish me luck, as I start this journey alone. If I watch one more Gastric Sleeve YouTube video, I may crack....LOL Night... Jona

Excellent !!!!

Me too!! June 20th in Richmond CA....I will be thinking of you. Congrats!!
