That would be fun! I have seen a few NCpeeps on here.

Came out of surgery around noon yesterday' date=' but I don't actually remember anything until about 4pm. Woke up sore and disoriented with a dilaudid pca pump. I've been up and walking 4 times since then and walking really does help. Most annoying thing is the mouth and throat dryness. My voice is really strained and hoarse from the intubation. Some nausea mostly after walking, but its not too bad. I even refused phenergan yesterday and opted to wait 2 hours until I could have more zofran. Phenergan just makes me feel like a zombie, I hate the stuff. Burping some, but no poots yet. Still dealing with the foley, cant wait for them to take it out in the morning.

Nursing staff here at Duke Raleigh is wonderful. Everyone has been very nice, professional and caring.[/quote']

Congratulations, sounds like you're on the right track, once they take the Foley out..instant relief.

I was supposed to be at Duke Raleigh, but my insurance insisted on my surgery being done at Durham Regional. Who was your doctor? I had Dr. Sudan.

Dr Sudan was my doctor too! Small world.

Getting all the local girls together sometime sounds like fun. I'm probably the farthest away though. I actually live almost an hour north of Raleigh.

It would have been closer for me to have the surgery in Durham Regional, but I like Duke Raleigh's facility better and insurance didn't care as long as it was a Duke facility.

So cool that we had same doctor. I like Dr. Sudan. He's quiet, but he is very good.

We should get together sometime. I live right on the line between Raleigh and Wake Forest.

My surgery was June 26th I have had some ups and downs with extra Fluid and air on my abdomen that makes me miserable however, it is getting better. My weight on surgery day was 244 lbs and today almost a week post op I'm 243 lbs. I am strictly following the diet and walking my neighborhood daily until I have the energy/strength to hit the gym for some good cardio workouts. I will be so happy to see more drops in my weight. Has anyone else had a slow start?

You're doing fine. Your body is just healing at its own pace. I started slow and then dropped 10lbs in 2 days. I also had to hide my scale! I was becoming obsessed

Im a slow loser and I weigh myself everyday, I'm not obsessed with it because I understand this weight loss procedure/process, my counselor said we should weigh ourselves everyday because down the line it will become easy to pick up weight, because you stop being concerned, you begin to think, oh it's ok, and next thing you know when you weigh yourself, you've picked up 10lbs....

That makes me feel better about weighing everyday.

I stalled for a full week during my 2nd week post op. After my third week I am down 5 pounds. It will happen. Try not to get too frustrated. (Easier said than done, I know)
