On my way in!

[Dream125 23]

Well it's surgery day! I've arrived at the surgery center, I'm IV'd, I've talked to my surgeon and anesthesiologist, and now just waiting to go back.

No nerves, really, I just had a restless night so I'm kinda sleepy. My only hope is that he will be able to remove my band and do my sleeve surgery today. He said 85% of the time there are no issues. I'm praying that the odds are in my favor.

Well I'll see you all on the losers bench! ????????

Thanks all! They released me from the hospital around 10:30 last night. I must admit, I had a very very rough night. Lots of nausea and vomiting, I didn't really have much in my stomach so it was a lot of painful dry heaving with blood from the surgery. The meds that my doctor prescribed me for pain (Tylenol with codeine) made me really sick, luckily I had some hydocodone left over from a previous car accident it helped some. Then I begin to experience the horrible pain of acid reflux. It burned like hell. They hadn't prescribed me anything for that, so I suffered all night and this morning from that. I called my doc and he prescribed me

meds, and gave me permission to take a Zantac that I had. After I took the Zantac I was able to relax for about 2 hours at a time. So between the vomiting, heart burn and gas it was the worse. Surprisingly, I haven't had much incisional pain, it does hurt some, but not even as bad as the initial lapband surgery in 2011.

I have been able to get in most of my fluids, but it is hard. I started my Protein this afternoon and I've been able to get in about 6 oz. I'm just really thirsty for Water, but you do have to sip, sip, sip, where as before I gulped, gulped, gulped my Water.

Thanks everyone for your support. Would like to know how my other May 18th buddies are doing.
