Hey guys , it's done ! I did it ! Surgery went well with no problems at all . Surprisingly I'm doing ok . I'm not feeling any pain right now (might be fro all the morphine I'm on ) but a little discomfort on my chest from the breathing tube. As soon as I woke up I had very bad nausea and drowsiness, and that's seems gone now! I was in recovery for a while too before they sent me to my room! I'm so happy it's over and now I can focus on recovering! I love the team here at GW hospital DC.

Thank you all for the best wishes and prayers!

Hope everyone is ok

Day 2 and still feeling pretty good! Went for a couple of laps around the nurses station. Still haven't passed gas yet! I can't use GasX strips til after my upper GI. Congrats to you too Mel and thanks for all the good wishes! They helped!

That's awesome @@workingmom163! I'm glad both of you are doing well after surgery @@Purplej and @mel2k16. I'm 5 days away from bypass surgery and getting a bit nervous. I'm more excited and anxious than nervous.

You'll do just fine. It really isn't as bad as you think although I keep hearing some woman wailing at the top of her lungs down the hall. Probably just wants attention. Everyone else is quiet.

I'm scheduled for March 14th with Dr. Weiner at Huron Valley Sinai. I wish everyone the best and speedy recovery!

Let me know how that goes, I love his videos!

Too funny! Thanks. I'm sure I'll do well.

@@Donegirl4life - you got this!

@@Purplej - So glad things have been good! It makes me hopeful for a similar outcome!

I just found out my surgery may be delayed. I've developed an upper respiratory infection and have to bump up the steroids I take. That may potentially cause a risk of increased infection. If we can't bring them down before surgery - it's getting rescheduled. To say I'm upset is putting it lightly.

I'm so sorry your surgery was postponed . Better safe then sorry though. It WILL happen and you'll be glad you did it! I'm progressing well and am on fluids now. Should go home tomorrow.

Hang in there!

I'm going through the mayo Clinic as well, my surgery date is April 6 which is 2 days before my birthday. They are also doing a research study and following my case. My life is at risk from other medical problems so they are fast tracking me. I'm suppose to loose 20 more lbs before surgery. It's so hard due to my pain levels but I'm doing my best.

@@sunshine1531 OMG congratulations! It's a great feeling, isn't it?

@@dustydaisy - WOO! Which mayo Clinic? I'm in Arizona. Yeah, they don't play around with it here. I'm so intrigued by all of the research studies they do here.
