Surgery.......

Sep 01, 2014

So I went in Friday for my sleeve, doc found out I also had a hernia and fixed that while he was in there.;) I will start off by saying I have a high pain tolerance. Friday night was horrible for me... I had a lot of pain, unbelievable nausea, and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. Saturday I went for my leak test and vomited during it, and didn't stop. They had me on 4 nausea medications. I asked if I can stop taking the pain med dilaudid, as I thought it was that, well it was! I switched over to Tylenol and the nausea calmed down.

I still had alot of pressure due to the "air" that was used. Was finally released today. Showers worked wonders to help calm down. Today I kept down liquids!! After all that I am happily only gained 2 pounds, considering I was on IV after IV..LOL Well I'm still experiencing pressure in my chest and upper back, but doing ok. On the flip side my stomach feel friggin awesome, incisions look awesome... no issue..LOL trying to figure out my limits, but seem to be stopping at the 3oz mark for each meal. Seems to be working!!

My surgeon said, there are a few patients that need and extra day... it's not the norm.
