Had My surgery on my 42nd Birthday. 4-14-11

 Got home today, Have been feeling kinda sick sense getting home. Nashua, Headache and the gas pains and surgery pains suck. I hope this gets better soon. I am very happy to say my reasoning for having this surgery is gone. No more Diabetes meds no of any of my other meds. YAY. Just really  want to feel better. They were kinda worried I was bleeding inside do to my blood count dropping slightly and my heart rate was high. But from yesterday to today it stayed the same so he went ahead and sent me home.  Anyway wanted to shared any advise for me would be AWESOME. Thanks

Lisa,

Congratulations and welcome to the losers bench!  You're doing awesome and just have patience, each day will get better and better.  Remember to try to walk a little each day and remember your fluids.  It helped me greatly to get on a "feeding and drinking" schedule just like a baby.  I would sip my fluids on the odd hours and eat small bites on the even ones, just in the beginning until I was feeling better.  This really helped me.  Walking even a couple of houses down and back will make all the difference. 

Happy belated birthday and here's to a wonderful journey that is now in front of you.

Congratulation Lisa and Welcome
Just listen to your body and take things slow, all will come
together.  I"ve just started my Journey, no surgery date yet, need to lose 50 lbs., first, so good luck.

Welcome home!    Sorry it sucks right now, but I bet it gets much better.  Take care of yourself.

Hello Lisa,

So happy to hear that you had our surgery and so far it's a success. My diabetes is slowly going away and I thank God for that. It's been 5 days since I had my surgery and still have some gas but not as bad as in the beginning. I am so happy for you!

Happy Birthday and congratulations on your surgery. The only advice I can give is what has already been expressed. Sip and walk. Each day you will feel a little bit better. Good Luck and keep us posted.
