Still alive

But I think I am half dead. Everyone said the gall bladder surgery would be easier than the RNY. It has it's good points and bad. I was able to have it done lap so I was home on Monday night. My problem now is the pain is when I try to stand or sit up.The pain isn't bad except for going from one position to the other and then I have HORRIBLE pain in my belly button. That is the biggest cut and where the gall bladder left my body. Hoping to feel better by Saturday so I can go to a cousin's b-day party, even if it is for a little bit. I don't plan on staying for the whole time (heavy drinking starts at 8) but I am hoping to make it for a little.

take it slow and get plenty of rest....I found my gall bladder surgery must more difficult to recover from then the RNY...especially the getting ups and downs....but be sure not to overdue..that last thing you want is the rip roaring fever of overdoneness!

wishing you good health!

Thanks, I just didn't think it would be this bad. It hurts to sit up so I spend most of the day in bed.

Give your self some time. This the second surgery you have had in less than a year and it isn't as exciting or rewarding as having GBS. I am sure you will start to feel better soon.

Take care
