5 days post-op

Jun 28, 2014

The world's biggest chicken made it through her VSG surgery!  Thank you to all of the people who sent me messages or replied to posts and gave me encouragement and advice.  I savored each one and it made me stronger.

Dr Curry is a fantastic doctor and his anesthesiologist is a gift.  The minute I met the anesthesiologist and we spoke I felt my fear melt away.  He had me convinced that I was going to be just fine and he was right.  I don't even remember being wheeled into the operating room.  I just remember waking up with a funny fluttering pain on my left side right around my heart and wondering if it was a heart attack.  But no, just gas pain from the laproscopic surgery.

They had me up and walking within the hour and I was released to a nearby hotel with my family to rest.  The next morning we headed the 100 miles home and I've had minimal pain and nausea.  How lucky am I? 

Thank you all again!
