Had my surgery Friday, 10/27, came home last night 10/30. What an experience, probably what the average WLS patient goes through, couple days of IV fluids, lots & lots of nurses poking at me to check vitals & blood sugar levels, & walking the halls...I forgot how busy & noisy hospitals can be!!
Thanks to my surgery buddy, Lisa L., who had surgery right after me, Dr. Callery, & our rooms were right down the hall from each other, so we were able to chat & compare notes. What a blessing that has turned out to be, I have met a new friend & we have already chatted on the phone a lot!
Thanks to all of my forum friends, you have been the ones to help me prep for this, get through the insurance process & the surgery. Now I get to rely on you to help with the post op experience, and I know how helpful & wonderful you all are.
Feeling great, doing lots of walking (about a block - 8 to10 house-fronts per day in a suburban area), 4 to 8 times per day. Will have first post op dr. visit on Thursday, looking forward to that, just to see if I am doing OK.
No questions yet, just wanted to do my first post on the post-op side, and thank you all for your wonderful support.
YOU GUYS ROCK!
