Tomorrow is the anesthesia appt (don’t think much is involved other than going over the telephone pre-op info, hope not anyway). I will have a covid test while there (for my Thursday/June 18th surgery). Also have to stop by the surgeon’s office for paperwork (thank goodness it’s next door). I work in healthcare and so Tuesday and Wednesday I work, no choice, since I am leaving people without care for 2 weeks as it is. But that’s fine, sitting around isn’t much fun anyway. So it’s here now :DRUM ROLL; surgery week!

I hope you're having a better adjustment period than I am! I've been miserably sick since I was discharged (4 days post-op). I've already been to the ED twice for fluids. I can't seem to keep anything down. Thankfully I work at the hospital and am good friends with my surgeon. Otherwise, I feel like my recovery would be much worse.

[mattk53 124]

No, I'm doing good. So sorry you're having problems. I hope things get better.

Time for another update. VSG on the 12th in Nuevo Laredo with Dr Galileo Villarreal. Feeling pretty great all around. The five hour drive home yesterday was a little rough, the bumps weren’t an issue at all, just the time sitting still (with some walking breaks). Woke up this morning with left arm pain that was so bad I convinced myself I was having a heart attack... did some deep breathing exercises and walked it off and that’s gone now. Drinking fluids no problem. Not much pain any more except when I hiccup or my tube formerly referred to as a stomach contracts to empty, slight pain from the hernia repair still. All in all really happy with the outcome. Only had a 7 day preop diet starting on the 5th but I’m down 18lbs since then. Super excited about the future, can’t even imaging what I’ll look like with a skinny face :) oh and I’m already not thinking about food constantly. it’s weird.

Mine also. I’m so ready for this to be over.
