Mermaid out of water! (My journey)
mermaidgirl replied to mermaidgirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes I was in 504! Oh no that sounds intense! I'm tired of all these liquids as well especially since it doesn't stop people from eating and cooking delicious food. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I was in the same place same day. My surgery was at 7:30 a.m. For all I know, we could of been put on the same floor! Ahah! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

My surgery was kind of weird. Other than the obvious small pain of swallowing, the cuts and a bit tenderness to the Tummy I'm perfectly normal. I had no nausea, never threw up or had anything try to come up. It was difficult to keep me in bed and I kept wandering the halls. For the most part it does not hurt for me to stand/sit or anything along those lines. I'm put on a pain medicine that is recommend to be taken every 4 hours and I have not felt the need to take it in 36 hours. The only complaint I have is the liquid diet and how long the days are stretching by. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I used Dr.Dietrick and went to Florida Hospital Tampa! The only complaints I have are its hard to reach the office and one of the front desk girls was sort of rude, she seems to be gone now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

After 36 hours I was discharged from the hospital. My recovery was fine, I had minimal pain and able to keep fluids down. I never got nauseous nor threw up! All the hospital staff I dealt with was extremely nice. I have 5 incisions going straight across my stomach. Luckily enough it is enough down below my bra line and above my pant line where I shouldn't have issues wearing those in a few days. Hoping the rest of my recovery goes as smoothly as it has started.

So frustrated! Tomorrow is the last day of work before my surgery on weds. I have a bunch of work I have to do with my leave because my work did not get the fax from the surgeon. Of course they are closed on weekends. I'm really anxious now about the surgery and my liver. Ive had a few slip ups of eating more solid Protein or vegetables than I should. If I've had carbs I've had very very little tiny pieces very seldomly. I know it will all be worth it.. Soon you all will be hearing me complain about how much I hate yogurt.

Today I had my pre-op appointment with the hospital. It went well and they weighed me. I dropped 14 pounds! HW: 289 CW: 275 I felt so good about this simple week of hell. Surgery feels so real now that it is just around the corner. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
