Update after surgery

[TrixiePixie 0]

I did it. I had the lap band revised to gastric sleeve on thursday and all went well. I will admit that it was a difficult couple of days after but I can honestly say that each day gets so much better. The pain is much decreased to that I am rarely using my pain meds. I have much more energy (I even joked with my son that I am doing more things now than before my surgery), I am breathing easier and feel that i have a more positive outlook. i never in a million years would have thought that I would be saying that I have so much energy three days after surgery!!!

My surgeon said there were no complications, only that I had a lot of scar tissue from my previous surgery. My inscisions look wonderful already and he ended up pulling my JP drain before I left the hospital on Saturday. I have to do a week of clears until I see him in follow up on friday and will probably advance me to full liquids then.

I haven't weight myself since about a week pre-op--don't know why; I never was really a numbers person. More how I feel than a number, but I am curious how much weight loos is involved with two weeks of clears. I guess we'll see.

Trix,

congrats girl! I am glad that you are in such high spirits - and I hope it stays that way. Good luck with your weight loss - gotta love the NSV's (I am not a scale person either).
