Wow, you're quick to post !  I'm sure your blood pressure will stabalize soon.  You must have a lapband if they are letting you come home today.  Best of luck, keep us all posted !

Just wanted to let you know that I am out of surgery and hopefully once my blood pressure come up high enough I can go home.
Nothing hurts too bad, yet.
Hope all the other April 12th folks are doing fine.

I'm still pre op, so I cannot tell you I have the same issues, but did want to check in to see how you're doing today?  Things getting any better?

Take care..

So glad you made it through the surgery and got some good care from your sister... Sounds like the nurses sucked... I'm glad you gave some feedback to your doc.  I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I'm still pre op myself, but I have read alot of posts saying you can gain up to 10 pounds when you have the surgery due to the liquids pumped into you to keep you hydrated.  I think it is normal and it comes off pretty quickly.

I've also read posts warning to stay off the scale until your one week check up with your doctor.  Not sure I'll be able to do that, but it helps knowing that weight gain is normal in the first week or so.

Take Care !

I am pre op and have been on liquids for 7 days, but I felt the same way yesterday, bad enough that I had to stop walking and catch my breath.  Looking back at my day, I realized I hadn't had any protein in over 7 hours.

Grabbed a protein drink at GNC, sat down and in 10 minutes, I was good as new.

Glad you called your doctor - keep us posted.
