The day has finally come...

Apr 18, 2009

April 16, 2009 is the start of my new life.  I had Gastric Sleeve surgery today.  I will admit, it was much more painful than I thought it would be.  The gas pains are horrible!  I had my surgery at Southern Surgical Hospital in Slidell, LA.  The staff at the hospital were awesome.  Very comforting, sympathetic and there for every need.  My surgeon was Dr. James Redman.  He was awesome!  I would let him do any kind of surgery on me.  He has the most awesome bedside manner.  I spent my first night in the hospital with a little bit of complications.  I started getting fluid on my lungs during the middle of the night so I had Respiratory coming in to do breathing treatments on me and was given Lasix to get some of the fluid off.  I was wheezing terribly.  Didn't get too much sleep the first night because of the pain.  I think I cried all night...LOL!
