Anyone having surgery in May

[joleneB 26]

I had my surgery yesterday!! I'll be going home tonight around 5 or 6 as long as I'm able to take my liquids ok. I'm a little sore today I've been taking the Toradol every 6 hrs, I'm not using the morphine it makes me too groggy. Definitely gave the left shoulder pain but it is bearable. Had my X-ray thus morning to check for leaks and everything looks good so I'll be getting liquids soon.

How was the overall experience

So far the pain experience is so much less than I expected, i do feel swollen and it feels "heavy" or like " tugging" inside my belly. I've had no nausea, I'd say overall I'm very happy.

It was definitely not as bad as I've read on here. I had a revision from band to bypass and hernia repair & scar tissue to clear out and I've hardly needed any meds

My surgery is Monday at 7:30am. I am getting very nervous and excited all at the same time. I can hardly believe it is this close. I went today and had my hair done and got a pedicure as my mother's day gift from my family. I have been on my pre op diet since the 28th of April and have done very well with it. All the nervousness is getting to me. Really need some encouragement.

Right now I've been focused so hard on this pre-op diet, I've barely thought about packing for the hospital. I know I have to bring my CPAP and I think I need some comfy clothes (don't want my butt hanging out while I'm walking, lol) but I dunno what else.

I'm so anxious for the 20th to get here! I am so impatient... but I keep trying to remind myself that I have PLENTY to keep me busy until then.

We're in the same boat!!! My RNY is also Monday also (5/12) and trying to calm my nerves... Feeling anxious, happy, nervous, resolute all at the same time..... My time to be at the hospital is 11am- nothing to eat/drink after midnight tomorrow.

I'm sure you will be fine (we both will be) I went to by a timer for after I get home to time my meals vs. when I can drink liquids. So glad it's finally here but it's really nerve-wrecking....

Good Luck to you!!!!!
