Home from the Hospital..One Day Out



Recommended Posts

Wow, Id like the license number of the truck I think ran over me. I never knew so much pain could be caused from a tiny bite of food... My tummy hates me right now :( It can only get better I say to myself. My surgeon told me I did so well I could come home the day after my surgery. Not sure if thats a good thing or bad lol.

Yea, I know exactly how you feel. It's not all peaches,and cream. When I woke up in recovery, I felt like someone had a chainsaw at my abdomen, I started screaming for them to put my stomach back. It was straight out of Chiller. Haha, All good now.

I was also out the next day! But had to go to the emergency after a couple of hours of being out. I could not swallow pain meds and the pain became unbearable. The gas pain is the worst. Then when that is all gone you feel extremely sore. I had surgery 6 days ago and still have some pain. The worst part is learning how to sip and wait for that pain to go away before you can take another sip! I'm hoping this gets better. On another note I have lost 14lbs so far yay!!!

      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.
