504chic 53 Posted December 22, 2016 So my surgery was 12/21/16 I honestly did not know how or what feel. When I got the operating room I was told that they were going to administer the anesthesia through my I've. The lady asked me to stretch my arm. As soon as I stretched it I was out. When I woke up the nurse was telling me that it was time to walk. I told her I didn't have the surgery yet she said oh yes the surgery is complete. I didn't have no pain at all. So looked down my gown and saw the white bandages. So o got up and to the bathroom. I was later discharged. The ride home was okay. I wasn't uncomfortable at all it felt like a normal car ride. My husband helped me inside and up the stairs. I have been getting up every hour as instructed and walking for 10 minutes. No pain just the feeling of gas: sir trapped in my back. I can't seem to get rid of it. I am also wearing my cpap mask. The only discomfort I'm having is my throatI am having trouble with my fluids. I am trying to avoid throwing up gotta go. Time for my walk. . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleSleever 23 Posted December 22, 2016 Glad to hear you're doing well! Similar experience for me today except they are keeping me overnight because of sleep apnea. They are monitoring my oxygen levels closely. The only pain I have is has pain so I'm walking a lot and using GasX strips. I am having no nausea nor trouble with liquids - I've had four bottles of Water (small) and two cups of chicken broth so far. It's surprising to me that I feel hunger. I thought I'd have zero appetite but I hadn't eaten anything in over 24 hours so maybe my body was telling me EAT! I just hope the hunger feelings are temporary. Looking forward to going home in the am. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
504chic 53 Posted December 22, 2016 Good to hear you are doing well, I was told to bring my machine and I would wear after I recover them when I get home. As far as liquid in take. I have a 8 ounce sipping cup I started with ice chips on the ride home. Then I had a freeze pop and 4 ounces of Isopure. Now I'm sipping on Water. I am afraid of vomiting so I am taking in my fluids very slow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleSleever 23 Posted December 22, 2016 I'm so far having no issues on Day 2 and feel pretty good; very little pain at the incision sites. Still struggling to get all the gas bubbles out of my chest though. I'm walking a lot, sipping Water and took my Prilosec this am with some Jello. Hope you are also feeling better today?
