Vsg done. Surgery & recovery was hard

Well Georgette seems to be handling things well. I think the hunger I have is head hunger. Because my stomach feels tight at times and then I have to walk to get some of the tightness to go away.

For those who asked why the surgeon wrote "yes" on her abdomen, it's in response to a patient safety goal of identifying the proper site for surgery. It was originally intended to prevent "wrong side" surgery (like the wrong arm or leg) but now many hospitals have the surgeon acknowledge his surgical site.

Hi everyone, was just sleeved yesterday at noon. I am still at the surgical center. It is 2:30 am. Been sleeping for hours which is good. Pain is minimal. I was so pleased I can drink okay. After reading some stories I wondered. They just started an IV so I am hydrated when I go home this morning. Overall it is better than I expected. Great nursing staff.

Good to hear a positive recovery story! I hope my recovery is as comfortable as urs seems, and that I will sleep most of the pain away! Hehe My surgery recovery is in Beverly Hills so I hope they are very nice and accommodate my pain needs! :-)
