Nearly 3 days out
So I had my surgery Monday morning and whew! the pain was terrible when i woke up! but quickly controlled. I had a lot of back pain on my left side more than anything. Also, the drain was a discomfort. But now here I am..been home for a day and a half... I am ok.
Pain sitting around a 3 ---6 at the most but nothing my med cant take care of
Doing great on my fluids
Already had 2 (small) bm's
Able to eat bouillon cube soups and jelllo- with ease
minimal gas pain..but when it does come, ugh ugh!
Moving, moving, moving!!!
I am very happy with my decision and am excited for the rest of my journey
Only thing i really can't shake is an incision on my left side...it has been very bothersome, but I am sure it will pass
thanks,
katie
sorry you had pain when you woke guess they didn't give you enough pian meds , glad everything is going great now
Thank you!! and yea I guess they didn't ...either way I will be glad not to feel that again! haha
Thank you, thank you both!
I am trying to be positive..which seems to be very easy especially today! I FEEL GREAT!!
Plus my fiancee' has been a real trooper, he is my rock..and my hand when i'm getting off the couch - ha!
And, Terrimarv, I am sorry you are having a lot of pain.. i hate that.. im sure it will pass soon! I felt 10x better in my own house so maybe when u go home and everything is familiar the anxiety and pain will subside.. you are in my prayers. :)

Congrats on coming thru your surgery ok...always scary...I am so happy to hear you are doing well. Keep up the good work...and keep us posted on your progress...
I definitely will keep the posts coming..even if no one reads.. bc for me it is sort of a therapy just to write it out, you know? ;)
I am just thrilled to finally have this golden opportunity.
Have you heard anything more of your surgery???
I will do my best to keep up with your posts...because like you, for me it is inspirational therapy. I will also continue to post because it helps to sort out my thoughts and feelings so I can deal with them instead of hiding from them.
I am happy for you as well and I really hope this tool is what will get you to your destination...
I have not yet heard regarding my approval from the insurance company...however, it has only been 3 days since the bariatric center gave me the green light and submitted my case to my insurance company....I am sure it is just to soon....but rest assured I will let the WORLD know when I know...lol
