Congrats Carly!

I had no catheter, thank God. But when I woke up after surgery I was automatically hooked up to delauded<(sp) intravenously that I had control of with a push button. Good luck! You will be back home before you know it.

Happy Healing! I've read walking is good for releasing the gas pains in your upper body.

Thank all, &Courtney,

They just got me up to walk around. Not so great with the catheter, but it's ok. Still no need for morphine- thank God. I was a bit nauseated a couple of times, but they gave me some med and it dissipated. I thought the morphine might make me dizzy and sick, so I didn't take it and frankly, haven't needed to.

Welcome to the losers bench...glad you made it. Keep walking, they should take the cath out when they are confident you can get up and go to the bathroom on your own. Look forward to more posts about your progress.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
