Home!

RNY was done 2/16 and got home last night.  Unfortunately it seems that every prescription strength pain med makes me nauseous to the point all I can do is lie down and not drink which is not good.  After the nausea wore off mid day, I have been trying to get all my fluid in but I don't think I will make it today.  Tomorrow is another day.I am amazed at the whole procedure and hospitalization.  I had a wonderful team taking care of me and made sure that each and every person knew it.  They were among the most caring healthcare professionals I have had the privelege to deal with.The running joke at my house is that I went to the hospital for WLS and gained 16 lbs overnight!  Hoping to dump all that IV fluid by the end of the week.Onward and downward!

Welcome home. I had issues with the IV fluids too.  I was so swallon when I got home from all those fluids.  It is going down but still the  last thing you want to do is have WLS and GAIN Weight.

Welcome home

I am dumping the fluid like crazy since I last wrote this - I have lost all of the 16 lbs I gained plus 8 more.  I am now 8 lbs less than the day of surgery!

One of the girls in my support group lost all her IV fluids plus some before she went home.

It just goes to show you that we are all different.  Knowing that it was a temporary issue actually had me joking about it when I called work and asked them if they knew of anyone going into the hospital for WLS and gaining 16 lbs in one day.....we laughed like lunatics over that one.
