hollybower 122 Posted October 6, 2015 I had my first appointment today! It's far from where you all are now, but it's the start for me. I also have my psych eval scheduled and my pre surgery appointment with my nutritionist set! I'm excited! Just gotta wait the 6 months now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrieverguy 411 Posted October 6, 2015 Hurts when I drink Water. But getting better. I wanted to take a nap but the nurse made me stay awake and drink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cape Crooner 589 Posted October 6, 2015 Doing well so far. Feels like a stomach cramp. The surgical team just inspected my sutures and said they looked good. Feeling great to be looking forward to recovery rather than surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RDub 57 Posted October 7, 2015 Just got home. Everything seemed to take just a little longer than expected. Arrived at hospital at 11:30 for 2:15 surgery, but I didn't have surgery until after 5 so there were several hours of nerve-wracking waiting. Today I was supposed to be discharged between 1-2 but they didn't get all their ducks in a row until after 6....more sitting around waiting. I have a little soreness but nothing too terrible. Now, I am enjoying my Premier Protein shake, first non-clear liquid food I've had in 5 days....its so good! LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abs0253 193 Posted October 7, 2015 Pain is almost non existent this morning. I have been walking six times a day so far and it seems to have helped greatly. How are you doing?I have been up walking. It really helps with the gas. No pain so far..I just got my morphine so I'm going night night...I have done well today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleevegirl1018 30 Posted October 7, 2015 That away sleeve girl. Get those pain meds! The nurse finally gave me the right combo of pain and nasea meds so I'm feeling much better! How are you doing on your first day at home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hsbower 1 Posted October 7, 2015 I am on Monday as well....its going to be a long 5 days! I'm nervous but very anxious to get this part over with. All my pre-op stuff went well. They said I am "very healthy" and should come through this just fine. I thought "sure I'm healthy except for the whole morbid obesity thing!" EXACTLY!
