Everything happend so fast. Registered at 515. Went to pre op at 540. Went to X-ray at 615. Last step pre op surgical anesthesia at 6:30. Knocked out at 715 woke up around 10 or 11... When I woke up from recovery every one is trying to help and I just wanted them to leave me alone.. My back was hurting me so bad... I didn't know what happend.. I was told I had trapped air in my back.. Then I was like a zombie my mouth was wide open I couldn't talk for like 6 hours.. They pump air into your stomach so they can see what their doing...my anesthesia team was perfect!!! My doctor was great!!! I walked every hour.. For like 4 hours...waiting to be released in the next hour..

CONGRATS! You did great. I remember when I was in the hospital I slept at an incline and that helped me not have as much air trapped. I had no problems with pain except for the incision site. Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

Congrats! I also wanted everyone to just leave me alone when I came out of the anesthesia - too many people trying to get me to talk and all I wanted to do was concentrate on how much my incision sites hurt. I kept telling them "Sssshhhh!" Embarrassing now, but it was how I felt at the time. I needed quiet to focus. ha ha

I hope the next few days fly by for you, since they can be the worst. Keep us updated!

Congrats. I remember all too well. I wanted to scream from the pain. It gets better and better. Whether you end up being a slow, medium, or fast weight loser, know that you will lose. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself and embrace the changes. Including listening to your body and what t can and cannot handle.

Be encouraged

Thanks Melissa and pickle face. Gone cast the pain is manageable with meds.. But it takes 15 min to drink the Vicodin meds

@ shells I couldn't talk for the 1st 6 hours.. I remember my husband coming in around 2 pm and I just looked at him with my mouth open and closed my eyes

[beauty29 72]

@ cupcake it will come faster than you will imagine trust me.. I'm still in shock...

@ tabbitha fluids is hard to get down.. It will take at least 4 hours to get down 8 oz of Fluid
