  Okay well Dec 10th has come and gone and I have had my surgery.  I am so happy.  I have to admit I was very nervous the day of but everything went so fast before I could say wait I was knocked out and under the laser.  LOL.... Right after the surgery was over and I was in my recovery room, which is all a blur, I felt a little sore but pretty good for the most part.  Of course I slept due to the meds I was under but once they wore off a bit I was up walking.  Sounds crazy but true.  My husband was a big help.  Now the next day when I was scheduled to go home, I noticed I was having a hard time with gas it seems and keeping fluids down.  I began to cry when everyone left the room because I thought I made a big mistake by doing this surgery.  My doctor and nurse was so supportive.  They both assured me that it was just the gas they had to put inside of me.  That I would feel better tomorrow, which meant I had to stay another night. I have to admit I didn't believe a word of it, I thought they were just trying to cover up were they screwed up.  The next morning I happened to wake up early at 4am and upon opening my eyes I was expecting to feel pain/nausea and do that breathing belching thing I couldn't stop doing the other day.  Well it was all gone.  I even got up to test it out by drinking stuff to see if I would throw up and have a had time with it.  Nothing.... I went to the rest room by myself , walked around the floor outside my room several times.  Still nothing.  I felt fine.  So now today is Dec. Wed. 14, and I am in pretty good spirits and back at home as of  the 12th, Monday evening.  Due to the liquid diet pre op my weight upon surgery was 209lbs.  I weighted myself yesterday and weighted 204 so I am seeing small results which I am happy with.  My complaints are few but you will notice it when you have your procedure done.  Its the GAS!!!! It's a BEAST!!!! I feel it and at times it hurts but not like after surgery.  Also hunger pains.  Some say its gas, others say its hunger pain, I don't know, I need a cure!!! Any suggestions lol. Other then that It's Cool Beans!!!!
