3 days Post Op

May 08, 2009

So I had my surgery on 5/6 and everything went really well. I was suprised just how easy it all was. There was not alot of pain.
It felt like taking a quick nap and waking up with a whole new plumbing system. So far I have been walking and sipping ...walking and sipping...repeat....  The folks at Rex Hopsital were amazing. The hospital it's self was really nice. All private rooms...WIFI.....LCD Tv's...room service...(really they have a huge room service menu that you can order from all day long...well unless you are a WLS patient) The nurses and the rest of the staff were incrediable. I feel fortunate that I had such a good experience.

Today is my first full day at home...it was nice getting a full nights sleep with no disruptions. I am learning a little more about my pouch....I crushed up my sleep med and mixed it with apple juice....Man it hit me fast!! I would say 2 minutes after taking it I was nodding. I can imagine that's how alcohol would work...although I am not testing that...not for a long time. I always have been a cheap date though.

The only thing I can complain about is the persistant bad taste in my mouth. I hear it gets better...but for now it grosses me out a bit.

Overall I feel really lucky.
