dimpsedee 10 Posted November 28, 2012 I had my surgery this morning. Had to be there bright and early at 6am to where they immediatly got me to the nurse for vitals then into my gown- with the socks and mismatching hat- so sexy. Next the nurse to go over everything with me and then the IV lady, and the bariatric nurse.... all at once- slight overload. Then they pushed me to pre-op and yet another nurse- along with the OR nurse...holly molly lots of nurses. Then the anasesiologist followed by my suergon... It all seemed so chaootic but not too long after all that they wheeled me back and dopped me p next thing I know I'm in post op- the procedure was quick like a bunny I guess and all went well soon after I was home. I have a little pain and discomfort around where the port is, but I hear thats to be expected. Most of the afternoon I napped, and sipped now to get to the walking part- ugh I hate this part but it will be worth it. 2 **IP~LB** and Bubie1916 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Domika03 309 Posted November 28, 2012 Congratulations & welcome! I agree with everyone else above: walk around as you can, use the heating pad & gas x for tummy discomfort, sip x 3, and relax.
