Hi All,

I'm doing well ???? been up for a shower, walking around the ward.

Had 3 small spoonfuls of yogurt. Siping Water. Tried peppermint tea for gas. But I'm burping. Woke up from theater well, I was able to do mindfulness and the nurses helped me stay present. Emotionally I'm so happy with my choice, feeling in control.

Feeling very sore, and nausea comes and goes. My stomach muscles hurt! But it's so worth it!!

Thanks for all the kind words xx I'll keep posting.

Yay! Thank you for updating us! Any advice for us who are post-op? Is there anything we should know to pack in our bag? ☺

Welcome back! Glad you are doing well. Pain and nausea will go away, so will excessive burping.

Awesome that you love your decision! Happy recovery to you

That second shower was pure heaven... sigh.

I'm up and walking around the ward, drinking well. Just need to focus on siping because I get distracted lol I'm taking my morning medications (3 tablets) over a 40min period.

Didn't sleep well, different environment and lots of strange noises. I see my doctor soonish so hopefully today or tomorrow for home.

Feeling proud of myself ????

@@Ebony Rose,

Congratulations on your surgery! Thanks for telling us your background so we can go through your journey with you with a greater understanding! I am so glad it went well for you and you are happy with your choice.

Thanks for all the updates. It is great not only to know that you are doing well, but it is also good to learn what you are feeling and thinking at each stage before and after surgery. It helps us all know what to expect. Good luck as you keep moving forward!

Glad you are doing well!

Yes, hospitals are noisy places, with lots of activities in the mornings.

I had a private room, and took Ear Plugs and Eye Shades with me, and I used to wake up, then dose a bit, then I would be woken up for vitals, then dose again etc.

Hope you are cleared for home soon

The only thing I needed was my phone, a charger, and a robe. I slept most of the time, so I really didn't need anything else. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital, since I barely had them on.

@@Ebony Rose, it's great that you felt like posting what seems only minutes after surgery. You are going to be a champion every step of the way.

Love reading all the stories! Makes me feel not so alone on this journey! I'm scheduled for surgery on 10/26. I'm 5'0 189 (after the 6 months of weigh in appt) started at 215. My goal is 50-60lbs. Praying I get approved for the surgery. Should know this week. I'm super nervous for the surgery.
