I am now 3 days post op. I was surprised by the discomfort in my shoulder from the air pocket. just seemed really odd. I stayed one night in the hospital, which was a very difficult night. They wake you up so often, and all you want to do is sleep. Also, the anesthesiologist said I have sleep apnea, which I suspected but didn't know. So the machine kept beeping that my pulse ox was too low. Once they put oxygen on me, problem resolved. The xray the next morning was awful. They have you drive a large amount of some very nasty liquid. I've had barium before, I prefer it to this stuff. Also, it was so much, it really hurt to get it down. As soon as I got back to my room, I threw it up. Not intentionally, but I think I learned that if you eat too much, your stomach will reject it.

No pain meds since the day after the surgery. Just feels like I did WAY too many crunches. All in all, I am very happy and excited to watch the weight come off. It's hard to get as much fluid in as they would like, but I just keep sipping. It will come soon enough. Popsicles have been the easiest to tolerate. Hope everyone else is doing well too.

Wishing you great success! Prayers coming your way!
