3 days post op

[Vicki0618 123]

I'm home....3 days post op! Doing very well. I am having some sort of reaction to the dermabond glue they used on the incisions and they are big red and puffy. Not oozy at all. Took a pic and sent to the dr they said it's a reaction so I'm using benedril to combat that. Other than that I'm not in any sort of discomfort. Actually this surgery was WAY easier than the band placement or removal. I was able to sleep in my own bed first day home!! Just sipping sipping sipping....I was able to get in one Protein Drink yesterday and part of one today. I have found that warm liquids work much better than cold. Each day gets better!!!!

Oh and for any of you wondering....I did gain 5 lbs in the hospital from the IV fluids and gas they pumped into me. However as of this morning (3 days later) I have dropped all 5 plus 2 extra!!!

Congrats on making it to the loser's side! I will be there this coming Monday, can't wait. So glad to hear you are doing well. I have a question for you. I am planning on having surgery Monday and going back to work on Saturday. Do you think I will feel ok to do that? Are u hungry?

Well I had surgery Wednesday and I'm going back Monday. And I'm sure ill be fine. I'm still tired about 1/2 thru the day but I have a sit down job so I'm not too worried. Am I hungry? Well its hard to explain. I guess its hunger but its a very different feeling than before. Its more like a little nudge saying. ..."hey you need to get something in here." Where before it was an overwhelming urge to put something in my mouth.

I was sleeved on Thursday, and discharged today. Had some serious buyer's remorse that first night from the gas pain, but once I passed the upper GI, things got better. I gained nine pounds in the hospital. I told the tech "you realize I paid to go the other way, right?"
