I did it!

[Juanita62]

I am in my hospital room, freaking out just a little! Not a lot of pain, feels like I was in a fight and got punched in the stomach. I hope this is the worst of it! Heading off to sleep, our what little they'll give me here. I would like to thank everyone on this forum for the motivation and inspiration.

Worst bit seems to be getting out of bed! Hope you feel better today, here's to the start of our new adventure!

Me too! Almost 3 am and woke. So hard to sleep here. M doing so well and hope you are too. Four holes, no drain tube. Got Ice chips and water first day. Been walking and up in a chair. The staff here are amazing. My heart rate is low but they don't seem to concerned. Oxygen is low too, 95 with it turned up a bit. Using my breathing thingy. Here's to us. May we all be losers

Hope you are feeling well this morning Juanita. Prayers for a smooth recovery. Without knowing how it feels, I keep thinking of everything I've read and say, "sip, sip, sip." I hear that is key at this point for you.

I'm getting excited....26 days for me. We'll have to compare notes!

Congratulations ������ This is the beginning of a new healthier you. I had my surgery January 3rd and 3 months into it, I can walk and breath, and am just all around happier because I feel better. I can actually tie my shoes without getting out of breath������ Good luck, and keep us posted.

Congratulations and well done!

I have just passed my one year anniversary since surgery, what a year its been.

Follow the advise you're given and you will be fine.

Today is the start of something new for you!!!

Congrats Juanita62, I had mine done on Monday the 9th and have been home since yesterday. So far so good. This is going to be a huge learning curve.

Congrats on your new sleeve Juanita!! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Remember to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. A heating pad can be your best friend during recovery. And if you have issues with drinking making you feel sick try to drink warm or room temperature fluids. That helped me the first week or two.
