My Surgery

Sep 14, 2014

My surgery was on September 4th, 2014. I had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, laparoscopic. According to my surgeon, I had to do a 2 day pre-op liquid diet. It was a small glimpse of my life to come in the following weeks. I went to the Kaiser South Sacramento hospital at 11am. I got checked in and into pre-op area and had to wait around until 2pm for my surgery. At that point everything moved along very quickly, and before I knew it I was out. I woke in the post op area in so much pain. I couldn't wait till I got some of those lovely pain meds. I was taken to my room in the surgical suite where my family was waiting for me. Once I got into the bed and all adjusted I was ready to sleep. My mom stayed the night with me in the hospital. It was a restless night since the nurse came in to take vitals very 2 hours, and the fact that I couldn't pee. Finally around 6 am I was able to pee and it was like 1.5 liters. Lol I felt much better. I took many little walks while I was in there. By around 10 the next morning I was ready to go home for sure!
