We are Sleeved
May 01, 2009
Oh my goodness...what have I done. It is so very odd to go into the hospital when you are feeling well and come out feeling like sh**. Paul's surgery went longer than expected because of an artery running where it normally does not so he had some bleeding. They fixed him up and he has had little nausea and minimal pain. My hero. I on the other hand spent the night after surgery puking and puking about every hour on the hour. Thank the good Lord for my angel Leona! She spent the night with me and was always there at the first sound of discomfort. They tried all sorts of anti-nausea drugs. Finally got one to work around Friday afternoon somewhat, but today is Saturday and I am still queasy. Not puking anymore though..that is a plus. It is very difficult to drink the 30cc of propel water because it hurts. Dr Sherrod said they had some difficulty getting the bougie down my esophagus so I probably have some irritation-damage there. However he absolutely assures us that every sleeve surgery he has done, the recipient has been more than pleased with the results. We just have to adjust and get thru these first days. And we will. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that have been sent our way. Today we will be sleeping as much as possible to let our bodies heal inside out. Will keep in touch. By the way, when they weighed us prior to surgery, Paul was at 421 and I was at 358. Here we go!
