Private room baby!!!! And my surgeon requires a private room therefore it's no additional charge to the patient....I could kiss his feet.

I hope the liquid diet isn't as hard after as it is before... I'm getting hungry! Did anyone have bad acid reflux while they were on their liquid diet?! Mine is killer

Didnt they give you protonix or prilosec? I have to take out for three months once a day post op.

Yeah I do have that I just didn't know if it was ok to take right before surgery (I have it on Thursday). I've just been tolerating it the last 5 days.

It's night and day!!!! I only had to do liquids a week post-op but at 15 days out I'm still really not getting hungry so liquids were more 'oh yeah I need to eat' instead of 'oh my God I'm starving to death feed me now!!!!' It's pretty awesome the difference a day makes!!!!

I got out of surgery around 5:30 pm, everything went well, everyone keeps telling me that I look great for someone who just got out of surgery lol, who doesn't love a compliment? But I am in a lot of pain, keep pressing that button for my pain reliever, but don't feel like it's doing much. Surgeon said that if everything goes well I might be able to go home tomorrow evening. I have my own room, yay, don't need to share it with anyone. They've had me taking zips of Water, 1oz every hour. I think that's it for now, oh I tried getting up to walk, I walked for like ten steps, too dizzy, I say down on a chair and started getting nausea so had to go back to bed. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Hope everyone is doing well.

I agree. Somewhere around day 10 I turned the corner. I swear I could go all day without eating. Yesterday was the first day I realized I'd been lazy with my Water, so I'm having to make myself drink. I guess this is what they call the honeymoon period?

Congratulations!! Welcome to the other side!

Finally home, had my surgery last night ,now I am home relaxing on my couch, I am having lots of pain, and a lot of gas. The gas is more uncomfortable than the pain wish I could just burp it away. Well feeling kind of tired, I think I'm going to take a nap now. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm trying to get up the gumption to take body photos pre-op so I can monitor progress down the road but ewwwww I hate pictures of me!!!!!

Tomorrow it is! Got my call and have to be at hospital at 8 am. Surgery 10:30. I am not too nervous--must be the Xanax talking. I am looking forward to the losers' bench.

YES! I have been on Prilosec or Protonix for 17 years and never felt the acid reflux I have in the past week on my liquid diet. Not even after eating a steak and cheese and onion rings! Omg just made myself hungry again!!!
