LisaMergs 2,854 Posted March 23, 2016 Well surgery is in the morning at 11:30 am- 3/23. I have spent the last two days inundated with last minute things- my daughter leaving for France on Friday, one of my sons had to get scheduled for wisdom teeth extraction next week. Monday I woke up shaky and crying- like when hormones overtake you when you're pregnant- no rhyme or reason you just start bawling. Lasted for a few hours and then I calmed down. Tuesday I saw my surgeon for my "day before" appointment. Begged him to let me have a turkey sandwich ( I was kidding!) and he said no way! I told him he was a bully and we laughed so it helped relieve some tension. Meanwhile it is 2:14 am and I can't sleep a wink. Never can when something important is happening the next day- like a trip or in this case surgery. Had a great conversation with my "Bariatric buddy" tonight and now I'm one hundred percent ready to go! But these last two days have been a crazy roller coaster.

Hey, my teenage daughter went to France last year with her History club around this time... I was a nervous wreck sending my 15yo across the pond, but she had a blast!! Hope yours does as well!

LisaMergs 2,854 Posted March 25, 2016 Well, here I am. Yesterday after the surgery was horrid. Took forever to get me out of recovery- apparently I had a hard time waking up. I have no recollection. But the "gas" pain in my back and shoulders and the center of my chest was beyond unbearable. Finally dissipated by 2 pm today- about 24 hours. Only area that hurts is the largest of the incisions. I'm now home- at my sisters though recovering. My house is like grand central station and here it is quiet. I'll stay for a few days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaMergs 2,854 Posted March 27, 2016 Seem to be doing better. I e been up for regular walks. Weather here has been great. No issues with throwing up or anything. The largest of the incisions still burns and is painful and no BM yet. No hunger- not even head hunger yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
