One Day Out - Burp It Out



Recommended Posts

I had mentioned in my lay post that I would send an update on my way home after being released...... Fugetaboutit.

you don't feel like posting after surgery...

I did really well after, according to the nurse, which was a surprise. When she asked me my name I gave her a "BUUUUUURP Browski mam".

And kept letting them rip. The nurses encouraged it, they said allot of people hold back and have allot of complaints about chest pains from gas.

No shame here, thank God, my wife loves me. She drove the two hour drive with me burping to the beat of the music, the words of the music, when there was no music.

Physically you feel like you were drugged, laid out on a table and had extra equipment added. I was able to walk out on my own.

Your abdomen will be sore, what can you expect? If your a hairy Swede like me, you will get a kick out of your shaved tummy. You won't be able to sleep on your stomach, but after a shot of pain meds, you sleep just fine in any other position.

You won't be thinking about food, just sip your liquids, I even had a couple of popsicles.

Ohhh and walk around, it will help work out the gas.

Woke up this morning feeling sore, just got up walked song, burrped some more, then got my phone.

all I know is it felt good after the surgery was done. No more "should I do it?", no more worrying about backing out, no more thinking about what I won't refer to eat or drink any more.

its done, now to start working on things I will get to have, one seat ticket on the plane, long walks with my family, not being called coach bigs. im happy.

Good luck on your journey! You will succeed! I was banded on 6/4/12 and have lost near 20 lbs so far.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
