Good morning!!! Well my three month wait, finally paid off. I had surgery yesterday. My experience thus far has been pretty good. I slept most of yesterday, so Im wide awake since 3am pst. I have 7 incision sites. I cant feel much pain in any of them but one. The big one is about 3 inch incision right next to my ribcage, it's rather tender, hurts to sit up and walk. My nurse ordered me a binder to support my belly better while walking. No appetite as of yet. Ive walk twice, once a couple hours after surgery and the other last night. Last night I doubled the distance and felt the gas moving after. Only minor burps, no passing gas yet. I cant wait for the relief though. My mouth is so super dry: my tongues sticking to the roof of my mouth. Im using sponge sticks with water to get my mouth wet. Ill be in the hospital until Thursday. My surgical team was great! My Surgeon is simply the best. Im so happy. Sorry for typos Im on heavy meds and groggy, but couldn't wait to post my first time!! Starting weight: 278 Started Liquid diet on 3/17 for 10 days 3/27 Surgery weight: 262 14lbs lose in 10 days 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 Let the numbers keep dropping!! Good luck all... best decision of my life.
