I Did It.

Mar 19, 2011

So, I met my surgeon, Dr. Hamdi on January 14th, 2011. In a matter of 2 months I got through all of my tests, bloodwork, exams, etc and was scheduled on March 16th, 2011. I did it. I had RNY on the 16th, and asked my surgeon if I could go home the 17th, the next day.

Here I am 3 days post op. I'm feeling very mixed and emotional. I am happy I went through with the process but I'm also very nervous of complications, messing up, and of course the pain isn't helping. Sure, they have me on pain meds but I wish it didn't hurt so much.

As far as hunger is concerned, I'm getting small cravings here and there, and I am finding it difficult to get ALL my fluids in- but other than that I can tell already my stomach is much different than it used to be. 

I'm feeling very nervous and unsure. I'm hoping this feeling subsides. It's hard to imagine I actually followed through and the process has happened already. I suppose this is the hard part.
