Hi

I had a RNY on 8/28. Dr Kim told my wife everything went well. 

In the prep room they gave me a shot and I felt groggy.

In the operating room they asked me to scoot onto the operating table which I did without a problem. There was table extentions for my arms. At this point they knocked me out for a really good sleep.

When I woke up I had a morphine pump. I do not remember any pain.

I was given a script for pain pills prior to surgery but I have not used any.

In my program there are a lot of rules to follow. Adjusting to all the new rules is challenging for me....but I must follow them.

Good luck with your program.
