I just had my gall bladder out Tuesday. I was out of it didn't even know about it until the nurse told be in second recovery why I was so dry and felt phlemy. I had that Phlemy feeling about 2 days afterwards and just coughed it up (cough hurt a little) Dr told me this is a dry run for my VGS at the end of the month.

Welcome aboard!!!

Hi, I have had two surgeries where I was intubated in both surgeries the last thing I remember before I was out was moving from the gurney to the table. And the first thing were the doctors talking to DH. The rest was a total blank.

I have no memory of being extubated either.. but thanks for the explanation! Now I know why I had that blister on my lip for 3 days after surgery!!

Good Luck Amber!!! Can't wait to see you in the "post-op" forum! Get your rest!

I didn't remember it at all either. And I didn't have a sore throat or sore lip or phlegm. I was, however, nauseous like crazy. In recovery the nurse had to keep reminding me to breathe so I wouldn't be nauseated. I was so dopey I would hold my breath and then feel like I needed to throw up. That lasted off and on until I was in my room and they gave me another bit of medication for it and then - ta da - no more nausea.

I have a feeling I know how panicky you probably feel with everything happening so fast, but don't worry... if you are like me, you will be thrilled with the results. It's the best thing that I've ever done for myself. I'm a different person and I'm still adjusting to these wonderful new feelings about food and eating. I feel normal now instead of wanting to eat all the time. And it's only been 6 months and I am about 14 lbs from my goal!! I feel fantastic and happy! People are telling me I look great and shouldn't lose anymore weight. They're just used to the fat me. They'll get used to the skinny me when I reach 130 lbs.

Best of luck to you for a fabulous outcome tomorrow! Keep us posted on your progress.

IF and i mean IF you have ANY memory of it, it will be a very foggy memory. Very few even know when it happens.

Welcome and best of luck to you.
