One Week Post VSG
Aug 31, 2011
So.....its been a whole week since I got my Sleeve!I went in to the hospital at 6am for prepping, The nurse got the IV on the first stick!!!!!!!!!!! Wooo hooo (this never happens) then my surgeon comes in to tell me I have large gallstones and an inflamed gallbladder and if I don't mind he will be taking that out as well...okay what the hell two for one??? So off I go to la la land
4 hours later took 2 hours later than expected. I wake up at 11:30 with the WORST shoulder pain I've ever experienced??? SHoulder...huh? Apparently thats where the gas goes....ok. So I'm in recovery getting my morphine drip hooked up...nice and groggy...then out of nowhere BAM here comes the Nautia...Boy everybody was spot on there! and when it struck up I chucked! Nasty Vile Black poison from the pits of hell!
Hows your pain they kept asking....but the Nautia was so severe that I didn't even really notice the pain!!!!!!!!!! Hit the morphine button...what the hell right? Might knock me out??? No SIR!!! Yakkety Yakety Yak...for the next 30 hours. I was like the exorcist, every time I'd sit up HURL...Talk to someone...HURL... So i told my friends and family PLEASE don't visit me cause the only way I could keep the vomit at pay was to sit there in the recliny chair with my eyes closed!
Oh and lets not forget how I got my period the day of surgery....and it was like Hurricane Irene was in my Ovary! Cause I was hemoraging, and apparently that is not part of the staff's responsibility....So every time I stood up I had the most embarassing moment of my life!
Miraculaously Friday morning, I woke up and it was like the sky's had parted and the sun came out cause the nautia was gone!
My Doctor came in and announced it was ok for me to go home????????? Really? I haven't even kept more than 6 oz down yet, but out came the drain then the IV then the discharge papers came in...ALL CAUSE I FARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Home I went to my 3 kids and not so freakin helpful husband (got him an IPAD for his birtheday the day before my surgery big mistake) but home I am.
And now I'm sipping and walking and sipping and walking and other than getting up and sitting down I feel pretty darn good!
That was my first week skipping over the monotony of each day, but by day 5 I was pretty good!
So I'm sleeved and on my way! oh and 12lbs lighter in 1 week!
