Considered POST OP as of 03/19/2010

Mar 20, 2010

So I am now considered post op... That was very fast! I had my surgery at 8:30 am on March 19th. My surgery was done at St Vincenet Carmel Bariatric Center of Excellence, my Dr. John Huse...  I can honestly say it went great, and just as I expected... I had it done laproscopy, so therefore i have many little incisions on my belly and not just one huge incision. I have been in alot of pain. At first they had me on Dilaudid (supposed ot be stronger tham Morphine), then they switched me to iquid loratab, and then on top of that they are giving me Torridol. I am still in the hospital as I write this.... I am getting so drowsy, since that is all i have done since Friday is sleep... They wake me up to walk, and potty and i am right back out. I know it will get better, but wow the first  few days have been super rough! I know it will get better... TO all o you getting ready to have surgery-- you will not regret it no matter how horrible you feel after surgery. I felt ike I had been hit by a bus and then ran over by a train, but still I would NOT change it for the world... Some people feel perfectly fine after surgery, and some people do not. I unfortunetly am the type that does not feel perfect. I have bruises up my arms, where the IV's kept giving out, and they would have to do it again, after about an hour-- that would give out as well. Finally they put one in the top of my hand, and its been there for almost 24 hours! Go me! Well i am very drowsy, just wanted to write and let everyone know I had my surgery!!!!! I am ready for this new change!!!
