VSG

Sep 14, 2014

I had the VSG done on 9/11/14. The first day was kind of hectic. Couldn't breathe ,couldn't wake up, ended up in ICU after surgery because of breathing problems. I think it had a lot to do with my sleep apnea. Anyway that was a bad day for me. I did do a little walking down the hall and sit in a chair. I was in a lot of pain as expected. Next morning day 2 I was up early at 5 am feeling fine and ready to roll. I walked the hallway up and down twice by my self. I sat for a couple of hrs.  and layed down . Had pain med earlier the second day post op and haven't had any since i am home. Day 3, Feeling fine,drinking fluids, walking a lot. Not too much gas pain ,but some burping. The liquids are going slow but hope to start taking in more as i go. I haven't thrown up anything except day 1 in hospital after surgery. Day 4 today, was up early . Took my walk at 6 am this morning . Walked down the sidewalk more than a block this time. Feeling great! Still no problems .God is good. I am him to carry me thru this and he did. I say, just a little talk with Jesus makes everything alright. After doing the grape kool aid , water ,and popcicle, today I am having a protein drink and it is going down good. Thank you Lord!!  I have even had a little coffee this morning. I was at 288 the week before surgery and as of yesterday , I am down 18 lbs. 13 of it was from the liquid diet before surgery.
