BRockVSG 13 Posted July 18, 2017 Hey there guys. Had the surgery yesterday at about 8AM and according to my wife I was in a great amount of pain. By the time I slept a bit and woke up later in the afternoon I felt pretty good. Was up walking laps by 6PM. Felt better every hour and was discharged at 1PM today. I have the On-Q pump so that helps a bunch I think. Now just to follow the doctors orders and stick to my diet and beat this thing and use the "tool" for what it is. Thanks for all your well wishes.

nativenm 11 Posted July 23, 2017 I to am getting surgery tomorrow. It feels surreal. Had a year to wait and got more anxious with each month. Now that it is here, I am happy and scar d to death. Any advice for the hospital stay and post op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BRockVSG 13 Posted July 25, 2017 One week in and I am feeling pretty good. I have had my rough moments with the family eating some of my favorite foods but I know I can't eat it and if I could I would hate myself anyway after. This has been a somewhat emotional roller coaster but I am loving the ride. Shirts are fitting better than they have in ages and I am looking forward to next Monday for my 2 week post-op visit. Can't wait to see the progress I have made numbers wise. I know I feel it in my body. Full liquids can be rough but I can see puréed right around the corner and solids is next. Right now I am just craving Good healthy Proteins. I want salmon and chicken so bad. Does anyone know how bad steak is on our new tummies? I am badly wanting a fillet mignon. Anyway I feel like I am rambling. I hope everyone is doing fantastic. This new life is a gift. HW - 537Pre-Op - 506SW - 499CW - ???On the other side of maximum fear are the best things in your life.
