HelenaMarie83 74 Posted June 13, 2014 Today is my last week of work before surgery. I'm on full liquids today and tomorrow, then clear on Sunday. I'm hungry, but not terribly so. I'm not nervous yet. I'm actually really excited. On a side note, I had a job interview today with a company that could really start my career for me. I told them that of I were to be hired, I would need to give 2 weeks notice....(so I can heal up enough to work. lol) 1 Writerjennifer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginger Snaps 1,323 Posted June 15, 2014 Good luck to all you Monday ladies. I had surgery las Monday at 5 (surgeons got really backed up) and I went home Wednesday. Very little pain just a lot of chest pressure. Friday morning was very short of breath so my doc sent me to the ER. I have pneumonia and have been back in the hospital since Friday. May go home later tonight or tomorrow if all goes well Still very little pain just the chest pressure. Be SURE you get out of bed and walk and move around the room. Sit in the chair when you can. I got sent to the cardiac floor because there was no room on the bariatric floor. The nurses kept telling me to stay in bed. Would only let me go to the bathroom I am convinced (and so is my surgeon) that this could have been prevented, So get up and move. I hope you have just as great an experience as I've had minus the bump in the road, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
