Topic: I'm home from my VSG surgery!!!
OMG I feel fantastic! I was the model patient who did what I was told, got up and walked like I was supposed to, did my breating exercises and recovered very quickly. I was only in the hospital Tue morning til Thur evening. I could have gotten out earlier in the afternoon but the dr got held up in surgery & still had to come remove my drain.
I'm happy to be home! I can go back to work. I haven't been on pain meds since Wed evening before bed. But I do notice I get tired quicker & have to be careful when bending over.....or try to not bend over cuz it hurts.
Thanks for all the prayers & thoughts! I hope everyone else's surgeries go just as great as mine did! I wasn't even nervous at all going in and even walked myself into the OR.
Hugs,
Annie

Me too Me too!!!! I'm on Oct 28th. Heading out now for my preop visit. Mind if I ask what kind of pre op diet you're following? My surgeon doesn't require one.

My surgery is on the 20th also. I am very ready to start a new life. As far as the blood clots go, my doctor is sending me home on lovenox. You might ask your doctor about it. Best of luck to you!
