HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU WOKE UP AFTER SURGERY
I had open RNY AND I have a low tolerance for pain. ....needless to say, I felt like shiot!
Plus I found out, after hitting that morphine pump a few times, that I am allergic to morphine!

Not only was I hurting...but also itching all over! NOT a good feeling!

Dang, just thinking about waking up after surgery brings back horrible memories. I was moaning and pulling my breathing tubes out . They were trying to get me to be still. I think I cursed out all staff.

I'm sorry I was fool,


This is just my experience after WLS.
Honestly, I had begun to buy into the fact prior to pre-op that I could possibly die on the operating table from the surgery (the chances are way less now than they were 4-5 years ago). I was so concerned about this until I woke up checking for heat to see if I had already died and gone to hell or not - not that I wanted to mind you, but let's be real, I've been a sinner for a long dayum time and I really didn't think I had a shot at "making it."
When I kept feeling cold air on my half-nekkid butt under that flimsy gown, I quickly realized that I wasn't in hell or heaven for that matter and that I was actually in the recovery room. I was so relieved until I just passed out from sheer excitement and woke up again in my hospital room in minimal pain.
