Well i lived through the surgery. Holy crap does it hurt. I knew that it would hurt but the pain never goes away. I do have to admitt that it has gotten better. First day was just ice chips, today I started clear liqs. Planning on going home friday afternoon. I hit my goal of losing 20lbs by surgery day. All is going well thanks for the support.

Couple of months and you'll be so thrilled by the results you won't even remember this part of it!!
Glad to hear you're still with us!! Take your time, walk as much as possible, and don't let the pain get ahead of you. That's what the meds are for!!
Take care, brother, and hug that pillow real close on your way home tomorrow.

Glad surgery went okay, but sorry about the pain. The pain will subside, and the benefits of the surgery will remain. Welcome to the losers's bench. I am sure Miss Vickie has been dusting it again to get ready for the new kids on the block!
Hang in there...good things are on the way.

Ditto on the "I am alive". Because my MD had reminded me pre-operative that if things went south he would have to do an open RNY and the anesthesiologist reminded me that inserting the breathing tube for sugery can chip teeth; I was very concerned. So the first thing I did was ask: "laproscopic" and the nurse said yes, then I rubbed my tongue over my teeth. After that I knew I would be OK.
I am so glad you are back. Best wishes.

Im feeling alot better today. Less pain. Slept most of the night last night. Did some walking already today. I have a pain in my right calf that they checked over. Its not a blood clot just a sore muscle I guess. Dr. wants me off of work for atleast 6 weeks so I have some time to heal up before I get back to hard work.
My night nurse has been a lot of fun and she is very easy on the eyes which makes the stay a little better. Hope to go home today. They are just waiting fir me to start passing gas.
