Sleeved!

[mokee 588]

Well, i am sleeved. Had surgery on Nov 28, past Wednesday. Came home today. In a lot of pain and taking pain meds every four hours. I sure hope I don't get dehydrated because I can not seem to drink enough liquids. They had me on a bag of stuff in the hospital and I was keeping hydrated.

The doctor had a hard time getting through some scar tissue from my gall badder surgery 30 years ago. This is where he put the large insruments in and where he pulled the stomach out. My internet was out before I went to the hospital for a couple days. So I missed out on all you guys encouragement at the last minute. Surprised my self that I did not chicken out.

My surgery was over 1 hour late. They said the doctor was late and he must of had some problems with the one before me. Needless to say there were 3 more after me. Everyone at the hospital were very good and treated me excellent. I was impressed. He said he had no pictures. I would have liked to seen my sleeve but will not I guess.

We left for the hospital at 6:15 and arrived at 7:15. My surgery was scheduled for 9:15 but was not done until 10:45. Inside the surgery suite I met the nicest -people. All of them in their 30's and we had a few laughs before they put me out. When I awoke I felt like a freight train over me. Terrible pain. Stayed in recovery till 3:00. They were waiting for a room. I also had very good nurses and PCA's. I was given a chose of going home the next day or stay another night and I chose to stay. I am glad that I did. It gave me more time to figure out how to get up and down and to drink (I still don't have that down). So stay as long as you can. Don't be in a rush to get home.

Now my journey begins. Oh by the way I lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet and I don't know if I gained on the hospital stay. I get to have Mushy food starting tomorrow. Looking forward to tuna salad.< /p>

I wish everyone best of luck on your upcoming surgery.

I thought I was the only fool that wanted to see pictures! I wanted to watch my c-section but the hospital staff said no. Congratulations!
