Same here! See you on the loser's bench.
I'm itchy from the disinfecting pre-surgical wipes I had to use tonight.

Topic: 12/29 Surgery for me
Hi
My name is Pam. I am scheduled for my surgery (RYN) on 12/29. Wondered if anyone else is scheduled for that day?
I am excited and a bit nervous, I have NEVER had any type of surgery. I have no idea what to expect 
I am new to this site, a lot of good info here!
Topic: RE: Home from Lap RNY on Dec. 8
So 12/8-ers, how goes things now. I was also lap-RNY on 12/8. I think I should be doing better, but I guess I can't complain. Still here, and no major complications to speak of. I just got my staples out on Friday and felt worse afterwards, which was a surprise. Haven't had a solid BM yet, and am still on liquid percoset for pain. I know i have a low tollerance for pain. I am eating a soft foods diet as per my doctor's instructions and have been since day 7.
I started at 240 and am at 225.5 now. Could be better, but not too bad.
So how are you guys. Feel free to contact me directly if you like too.

Liquid Percoset - 10 ml dose. I have a very low tollerence for pain so I have been on it since they dismissed me from the hospital on 12/10. At first I was taking it every 5 hours the pain was so bad. It got better, but then they took out the staples, and I know everyone says you feel so much better after that, but for me it was the opposite. It was like I took a giant step back in my pain management. I still can't bend over much without severe pain in my lower abdomen. I just keep saying it has to get better every day. It is getting old though. I thought I'd be like 90-95% back to normal by now! UGH!

I think I know what you mean about not believing you did it. I kept saying the same thing to myself in the hospital afterwards. I honestly believe it is the bravest thing I have done in my entire life.
Congrats and good luck!
