It is done!

Mar 25, 2011

I had my surgery 2 days ago, on Wednesday. I was suprised at the amount of pain I had and how sleepy I was. I was out a good portion of the day on Wednesday. I learned soon that not only did I have the sleeve done but hiatal hernia repair as well.  I have 6 incision sites ranging in size from 2 inches to 1/2 inch. I have been very sore and I have really struggled with learning to drink with smaller, less frequent swallows. I am very tired. I want to rest but I have forced myself to stay up and just rest a small amount. I have been vigilent with my incentive spirometry and leg exercised to help prevent complications. I don't think it has really hit me yet. I am just going through the motions. I think maybe in a week or two it'll all sink in. I have been drinking my liquids and having one protien shake a day so far. My tummy itches. I think I will go to bed early tonight.
