My story is a lot like the rest... I just had my surgery on 08/05/2009, i am still on my clear liquid diet till monday then can move to the "paint consistancy" diet for a week then can move to a lil more solid foods. hell i cant wait for that day lol although i have been craving chinese food! lol My surgery day went well enough surgery was about 2 1/2 hrs long. I showed up at 6:30am did all the paperwork, got preped for surgery and had some great nurses at St. Thomas More Hospital in Canon City, Colorado (Monica and Terri in same day op). I had surgery from 8am-10:30am. I had some problems with my anesthesia and wasnt released from the hospital until about 5pm i wasnt released until the surgeon ordered me oxygen to go home. My oxygen level dropped after surgery to 70 with oxygen (2ltrs) it bumped back up to 95 (pre-op was 94 without oxygen). So im now stuck with this lovely tube around my face... other then that all has been going well. 2 days post op i went out with my mother to buy some stuff for my clear liquid diet. today (3 days post op) i went to barns n noble to buy a journal to record my progress. I am still a lil sore and gassy from surgery but have been taking gas x to help and it has. Good luck to everyone who is about to get the surgery and congrats to all those who have started their life changing journey!
