I AM HOME...........

Jun 10, 2009

I have to start with things went well my surgeon Chuck told my family after it was over that things went so well. When I got to see him the next day he again talked about how easy and how well things went. I stayed at the hospital for 2 days and I had one Nurse that was a rock star named NANCY she was a god sent.

I must say everyone was talking about how I was getting around well and I didnt look like I had surgery. But I could feel it, This is a pain that is rarely mentioned but I am going to tell you. This pain is from the air they pump into your abdomen to help them do the surgery. I felt like I had an elephant sitting on my stomach and my shoulders. My hospital was able to do alot of pain management before I left. Once I left today I was feeling alot better walked a half a mile with my daughter I could feel the gas strting to move and it has been coming out slowly. I never thought I would be so happy about pooting, but I warned everyone and was like I am sorry now but its normal.

Nothing else so far... when I started my liquid diet I was 287 the day of surgery I was 276 and I thought I would not be jumping on the scale but I was curious even though my belly is bloated I was 270. So far things are going well. Also women I was told sometimes when you have not had a period for some reason having WLS surgery can bring it down. SO I have a double whammy of craps with my period and surgery. But all is well so far with my first night home I do fell so much better getting out of that Hosp...
