1st day home, post op.
ugh...
Well I did it everyone, I finally did it!!!
I spent around 4 days in the hospital and came home a few hours ago. Im feeling good except for a few things, like my incision (ouchhhh when i move) and I can actually FEEL farts rumbling in my stomache. And since hubby wont leave my side I'm not getting any chances to let them out!!!!
Well doctor said everything went great and that I Was the easiest and quickest patient he's ever done the surgery on. And hubby filled my room with flowers it was amazing! All the nurses doted over him! The first few days all I got was water, some juice, and jello. but the weird thing is Ill take a sip or a bite and feel uncomfortably full. Now I can have some cream based soups, but arent those fattening? or does it not matter cos i wont take that much in? *confused*.
Can anyone give me an idea as to how long I'll hurt? I have around 4 incisions but just the one where the injection plate is hurts the most. And how much slower is the weight loss than GBS?? So what kind of loss should I expect? I wanted GBS but doc wouldnt go for it.
Anway, Im home and Im fine and while in the hospital couldnt wait to come back here and tell you all how ive been coming along. I Took before pics so in a few months Ill have something to compare them too! sitting up kinda hurts, so il check back in later. Good luck to everyone, and congrats to everyone else here whose had the surgery and is losing weight. Hang in there everyone. we'll get better.
