I am really sore. more sore than many say they are. but Im ok. the hard part is over.
My legs and feel are really swollen Im very concerned about that. I have tolerated everything ive had so far and no sickness. But Its hard to eat and drink but I know it will get better.Thanks everyone for calling and checking on me.

make sure you are walking your legs will swell up sometimes if you have a clot! best thing to do is stand up and walk at least 5-10 mins every waking hour! Welcome home to the losers bench!!! dee

welcome home. I think that the swollen legs are probably from the IV fluids. Mine were like that also, so swollen that the skin was tight and shiney. It eventually went away. If you are concerned of course call your doctor, that is what he is there for. Chris

Welcome home! I know from experience that swelling of my legs was something I get after surgery. It's from all the IV's. Of course, if it really is disturbing to you, I would contact my doc to make sure. It is better to caution on the safe side. Remember to get lots of rest and do get up and walk as much as possible. It will get better with each brand new day! Welcome to the loser's bench! Hugs, Lucy

Thanks alot. I took a water pill last night, I hope it was ok to do. I peed alot during the night and my swelling went down alot. they are starting to swell again but ive been on them alot. I took a shower and feel better. im going to try and o to church It always makes me feel better. I hope I dont feel bad when I get there. I took some vicodin so hopefully I will be good. I was able to lay on the couch last night and sleep some. NO position is comfortable. Im sure its normal.Hopefully evryday will get a little better.

Welcome home sweetie.. Yes, each day will get better. Just take things one day at a time. Listen to your body and don't do too much.

Hi Sandra, glad you are home, and thank you so much for calling me in the Hospital, that was so very nice of you , My leggs and whole body is swollen too, it has to be from the IVs the fill us up with. I don't want to eat either but we must and remember to get you water and protien in as much as you can.

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
