home and feeling great!
i had lap rny on monday the 10th and it went extremely well. my surgery was only 1 hour long and i was up walking 1 hour later and havent stopped yet! no pain meds i feel like a million bucks already. all that worrying was in vain. i will have to say that the swallow test was absolutely horrible!!!!! the worst!

Im glad u are doing so well. Im not home but my surgery went well. Im still in the hospital and they say I can go home tomorrow. I was on only ice chips the first day and clear liquids for (jello and apple juice) breakfast and lunch and then I had full liquid dinner. It was mashed potatos and cream of mushroom soup. Ive walked 16 laps ...14 equals one mile. They all say Im doing great. The only real problem is itching. Between the plastic mattresses and the binder....I have dry skin and it itches. My mom helped me with my shower today and greased me up with lotion and that really helped.
My surgery took 1 hr and 10 min. I didnt have a pca pump but they gave me IVP dilauted thru the night. Then today they started me on Liquid lortab. I havent had killer pain but I take it so I can walk more laps. Looking forward to being off of all pain mets tomorrow After I do the upper GI.

wow sounds like we both did extremely well. i walked and walked at the hospital as well. it did really help. beware of the swallow tomorrow. if you get through that you can make it through anything! and i know you will do just fine. i also took a showr the second day but didnt have to have any help. i could have used some but my mom wasnt able to be with me and i wasnt about to ask a nurse. i am very very private. i wouldnt even allow my husband to do those things.
glad your surgery went well.
