Sleeved today

So I had my surgery today at noon. I'm sitting in the hospital recovery room. 5 small incisions & I'm on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. Overall, it wasn't too bad. A little bit of gas in my tummy from when they inflated it, but I have been walking & that helps A LOT. Anyone that is pre-op.. It wasn't that bad.. Pain is a 2-3/10. Well worth it. Today is the beginning of my new life!

I was terrified because I had never had any kind of surgery.. But it wasn't as bad as I had psyched it up in my head to be. You will do great!

So First you arrive at the hospital and do your paperwork. Then they call you back have you change in to a gown and get weighed. After the weigh in they start an IV on you. The doctor & anesthesiologist come talk to you. After all that someone (usually a nurse) will come get you & walk you to the operating room. They ask you your name & date of birth. Every hospital is different, but they gave me an anti-nausea injection in to my IV, then 2 medicines that put me to sleep. The next thing I remember I was waking up in the recovery room & I was sleeved.
