I'm sleeved!!!!
I had vertical sleeve surgery on Wednesday, September 14. Everything went so fast. I arrived at Northside Hospital at 9:00 am. IV was started and I talked to Dr. Macik and his surgurical team. Next, I woke up in recovery moaning over a huge gas bubble in my belly. I was given some good meds because the next thing I remembered was my hubby rubbing my hands in my hospital room.
I spent Wednesday evening resting and burping. I have not experienced gas since recovery. Later, the x-ray dept came to complete a leak test. I watched my new tiny tummy on the screen. It was unreal! Everything looked great and I was cleared to drink.
Thursday, I walked the halls in the hospital. Dr. Macik came to let me know I could go home or stay another night. Of course, I chose to go home. My hubby drove me home Thursday evening. I am thanking God because everything went well. Please make room for me on the loser's bench!
