One more thing...if you are feeling nauseous..get a rubbing alcohol pad (the little packets nurses always have to clean your skin before a shot!) and put it on the bridge of your nose..the nurses did it for me and it took the nauseous feeling right away!!!

I'm writing this tip down! Thanks :)

Well it's the end of the second day out and I am finally getting enough liquids in to satisfy the nurses so I can have the iv out when I'd like. But I have requested to keep it in until the shift change because I think I did a little too much bending and with pushing the extra Fluid through my tummy is pretty sore so I wanted to keep my button a little bit longer. When they take it out I am to be put on liquid vicodin.

My barium showed everything Fiber no leaks.

Hopefully I will be going home tomorrow.

Part of me still can't wrap around that I actually did it. I am in disbelief at how calm I went into it. Besides the soreness and the slight cramping when I drinkI can't really tell I had it done... Essentially I don't FEEL different.

I am now finally experiencing the excitement of a whole new life ahead of me too!!!

For anyone with their own anxieties at their upcoming surgery... Having gone through fighting my anxiety disorder... My suggestion is to push through it headfirst without the focusing on it and try to hold all those though for later because thinking and anticipating only adds to the worry. If that makes sense.

      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.
