Surgery Day - (Weight: 319) I went in for surgery around 1:15-1:30 and was home by 8pm. I had a horrible experience with my IV but I have the worst veins in the world so I can't really blame that on anyone      My mom and BFF were there and I later received a visit from a co-worker after recovery. I was super nervous going in but I don't remember a thing after wheeling into the OR until I was in my room. I remember being super exhausted! I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to sleep. I was in a little pain - nothing that required heavy meds. That was another thing, they couldn't give me any pain meds right after the surgery b/c I have sleep apnea and they couldn't risk it. I have a high pain tolerance so it really wansn't that bad to be honest. After a little while they brought in my "dinner trey", which consisted of Gatorade, beef broth ... well that's all I can remember... lol I'm sure there was something else. Anyways... I was able to drink three 1ounce cups of gatorade but my mom and friend had to constantly wake me up and remind me to drink.
When I got home, I just wanted to sleep! Later that night, like around 2:30am, I got sick on my stomach and dry heaved but quickly went back to bed.

Day 1 - (Weight: 317) .....to be continued

Ahhhhh... It's down to the wire. Tomorrow is Surgery day. I've been calm and laid back but the butterflys are starting to flutter in my stomach. I'm not so worried about the surgery its self, Im freaking out over the anesthesia. I don't want to be one of those patients that feel the pain but are unable to wake up. My dad's leaving to go out of town and my mom has to tend to my horses and open the family business so I'm relaying on my Best Friend Diane to bring me to the hospital and care for me when I'm out of recovery. I was there for her surgery and we've done this whole WLS thing together so she's been my rock from the very beginning.
