Home sweet home, post op
Well here is to the new me. Had the sleeve on Tuesday AM. Wednesday was not a pleasant day. I found my face on fire and just could not get comphie. Lucky to have some great nurses who understood what was happening to my body and got me past the hump. Words of advice. It is a major surgery. It will slow you down. I learned 25% of sleeve patients need O2 for a week or so post op. Don't panic about that. Work with your medical staff and it will get better each day. The struggle at home was watching my family eat pizza and the hubby drink a root beer float. But the new motto, will 2 of them, I first say "that is poison to my body", then I remind myself I am here to fuel my body, not feel my soul. It is getting better each day. Life is pretty good, with lots of changes.
