I had my Gastric Bypass on friday November 21st and was home from the hospital yesterday afternoon, Sunday. It seems like everything went really smoothly... I just can't get over this feeling of- did I really do this? Has anyone else experienced this? For me it might have something to do with how quickly everything happened... I got my approval from insurance 3 weeks after submitting everything, and the day my surgeon's office called to tell me, they said there was a date open in one week! It all happened so fast its a little overwhelming. But definitely in a good way! I am definitely nervous, and excited, about the journey I've begun... I would love to find someone who had surgery around the same time as me to be a "buddy". I do have support at home but not the greatest.... and really I think its incredibly difficult for people who have not gone through this process to really get it. I am still sip sip sipping my Water, eating Jello and sugar free popsicles and so far haven't really been that hungry. My main issue has been sleep- it hurts! A lot! I am trying to find a comfortable position but will probably end up propping myself up on the couch. Who would have thought I'd ever be wishing for the hospital bed back? lol Anyway my thoughts and feelings are kind of all over the place, but I'd love to hear from anyone and everyone out there with advice for a newbie like me. Thanks!
