Discharged almost exactly 24 hours after my surgery started. Should have had them give me a new dose of pain meds before i left. My morning dose wore off and the bumps on the ride home were pretty uncomfortable.

The ride home is rough.  Now relax on the couch, watch some TV, and start sipping!

I was just sleeved on the 6th so the bumpy road home is still fresh in my mind. I sympathize! 

Feel better and believe me when I tell you it gets easier every day.

Welcome to the club.  You're going to feel like sh*# for a while, but every day you will feel a little bit better.  By two weeks out I was feeling super.  Now jus****ch those pounds drop off.

Hopefully the pain will become more manageable soon.  Glad you are home and doing okay.  Keep us posted on how things are going.  I am on the pre-op diet with my surgery date of Feb. 28th.  So I guess I will be in your shoes soon.
