hey girlfriend

according to my calculations ;) you are officially in sleeveland :)

take it slow

IF you have ANY pain, don't be shy about asking for meds

as soon as you can - get up and SLOWLY start walking around

this will help get rid of the gas

sip sip sip slowly - get as much water/liquids as you can

i see in your future - life getting better and better

who deserves it more :)

good luck

speedy recovery

@@SparkleCat

hey bud - i didn't forget about you :)

you do all the above i said

you and @@JessUK can both smile, give a sigh of relief

and compare notes :)

take care :)

Hi,

Thank you for all the good wishes. My surgery went well with no complications. I had a lap band removed 8 months ago so there was a risk that the scarring on my stomach may get in the way but my surgeon said the scarring was minimal so he was able to do a normal shape sleeve.

I have all IV drips removed and am sipping Water and cups of tea. They even tried me with some consume but I could only manage a few spoonfuls.

One more night in hospital then home tomorrow.

Jess

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
