Home from Sleeve
I came home last night after my Sleeve on Wednesday. Slept like a rock in my own bed. Now taking things a day at a time. Sip, sip, sip, sip - walk, walk, walk, walk. I'll be very happy when I'm a week or so out and I am not so worried about whether I will develop a leak. I'm a bit of a worrier so the "what if" thinking has been the hardest thing for me. No severe pain, no vomitting, handling water ok. Did more than my 64 oz. yesterday. Not for the weak constitution.....but I did hack up a bunch of phlem this morning. Is that normal? Doing my breating excercises. Dr. Broussard is great. He had to work on me for four hours because I had a previous surgery which had left a lot of scar tissue and even a sterile abscess which he had to remove. All my vitals were good at the hospital so I hope that with each day that goes by, the fear of a leak will diminish. I have an incisional hernia from my previous surgery that Dr. B wil have to repair in 6 months or so. He told me that that surgery will be really painful. Kind of wish he hadn't told me that. But, I just need to take one day at a time.
Thanks all for your support, kind words, and prayers. I'm on the bench!
Randy
