Home from 4/15 surgery

Wow Debra, I'm impress, I just got home today, 4/18, I' m still in a lot of pain taking Oxycotin and percocet, I was on Morphine drip and the percocet and demorol shots at the hosptal. I'm actually doing much worse than I every excpected to me. Luckily I'm staying with family this week. I'm not going to weigh till I going back to the doctor, as my father's scale has always weighed me wrong. Thanks. I'm glad it's over. Dianne

Congrats to you - I am sure everything will be amazing. I had Lap RNY on 4/13 and doing amazingly well. I suprised most people. I stayed in the Hospital for 2 days and I am currently off my meds Oxycodone, until night time so I can sleep on my belly. Keep moving - that is the key, walk as much as you can. Try to pre-occupy your mind with something, it helps the time go by until you can heal! Good luck!

Welcome home Dianne!! sorry youre having a tough time, but it IS over.. now comes the fun part.. definately, as someone suggested, do the walking, that helps more than anyone can even understand!!!
