I'm home

Greetings January Board,

Just wanted to let you know that I am home and doing well.  No complications, some pain but we know that.  Now just going to rest and take it easy.  I will post more as I can.

Thanks for your thoughs and prayers, they went to the hospital with me and I even shared them with a couple of ladies who were having surgery the same day as I did but knew nothing of our website.  They do now!!!

Always,
Barb

Congratulations.  You give me hope for my surgery on 1/20.  I'm happy that all went well for you.  Keep us posted.

Welcome home!!
Glad everything went ok for you. Take all the time you can to rest and heal.
Tomorrow is my day and I hope it all goes as yours did.

Welcome back. Defintely take the time to rest, which is what I am doing now. Just follow doctor's orders and eventually everyting will fall into place. Can't wait to see some weight come off.

Good afternoon friends,

Today is another good day, I got to take my shower.  Felt SO good.  I am doing really well, no nausea other than when I've tried to crush my regular meds they want me to try to take.  They are SO bitter I can't do it.  I will call my PCP tomorow and see if we can cut them altogether.

Some aren't so bad but metformin is the worst. I'd rather take insulin than try to gag that cr_p down.

My incisions don't hurt at all.  I think for me the only discomfort I have is the spot where the drain was and it is healing very nicely.  Having the drain taken out was no biggie, just feels a bit weird but I wouldn't say it hurt.  It took 2 seconds or less and it was done.  I am not sure if all surgeons use them (I would think yes) but it's the only part of my abdomin that continues to be sore.  I think I may not need pain meds tonight, we'll see.

Congrats on being home barb!


I had my RNY on 1/6. Mine was outpatient....no drains....minimal pain. The bad part about doing it outpatient is that you dont have that day of support at the hospital, so this board has been a god send. My shoulder pain resolved after a couple of days, but today, it came back.....its not terrible....just annoying......just like the gurgles!

I hope you have a speedy recovery!
