Yes I can barely see my phone too! Or read or work. Kinda sucks. But it's from the scopalamine patch.. it dilates your pupils like they do at the eye doctor and makes things blurry. I can see the tv fine and if I take my glasses off I can read up close. But I'm so bored ! Haha

I was so board only news I could get was CNN I was constantly walking laps , cleaning the room, talking on the phone, ( good drugs. lol ) by the time I started rearranging the furniture they threw me out. :)

Don't worry, that too shall pass, lol. Luckily I didn't have that requirement to go home. They just listened to make sure my bowels were making noise. I have been pretty gassy since about day 4 Post-OP with my first BM on day 10. Ask your doctor about adding Fiber to your liquid diet like Miralax or benefiber. That should help as well.

Finally had the last leak test, all is good. I had to drink some contrasting Fluid, then x-rayed with some type of weird imaging instrument. I was told 2 other leak tests were done after surgery yesterday.

I still haven’t had a drop of liquids, not even ice yet, but they are supposed to be bringing me some. This doctor allows no liquids until after the test. Grrrr!!!

It's so crazy to me how different the surgeons do things. I was sipping as soon as I was awake, and walking. And didn't need a leak test and they let me go home a couple hours

It really is crazy how different surgeons do things differently and all insist that their procedure absolutely must be followed for proper healing!! Same for me with no leak test, fluids and walking immediately. Overnight stay but discharged exactly 24 hours after surgery.

Yes, they are all so different with their protocols. I can’t have anything warm for several days. I am enjoying tiny sips of room temp Decaf tea now, and finally some Water.

How is everyone doing?

RNY yesterday. I'm home in my own bed tonight with no nurses (albeit wonderful ones) waking me up every 4 minutes.

My pain level is very low and hoping the uncomfortable gas dissipates by tomorrow! So far so good !

One more day of Clear Liquids and then I can start on my purees!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
