StrasVegasGirl 1 Posted November 10, 2011 Everything is going well. I am in the hospital until Friday. I get an upper GI tomorrow and if all goes well I get to sip some liquids tomorrow. I should get the IV out tomorrow. I got the catheter out today. I'll be switching to liquid painkiller tomorrow. So far, I have been able to walk many laps in the halls today. I'm going to do one more round before I go to bed. I skyped with my family tonight. I didn't want my husband to bring the kids to the hospital b/c it's 1 1/2 hours away and it's school days. The skyping worked pretty good. I could tell he was stressed from being the only caretaker. The doctor just visited and he said I have a really great sleeve. He also fixed a hyatel (sp?) hernia when he was doing the surgery. I had an upper GI prior to the surgery that did not show the hernia so good thing he still checked when he was in there doing everything else. Thanks Dr. Ben Meir!

StrasVegasGirl 1 Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks for the prayers. I had some fear prior to the surgery but my fear of living the rest of my life like this always kept me focused on why I was making this choice. I had a friend get the bypass last year and she had teenagers and she had made the comment about how much she had missed out on in their lives b/c of her weight...It was like I was slapped awake and realized do this now while your children are young so you can live your life fully as a family.
