Surgery tomorrow

Best of luck ! It will be over before you know it and you will be up and around in no time!!

Thanks all! I'm sitting in surgery admissions with all the other nervous people. I'm starting to get buterflies but otherwise I'm okay.

See you on the bench!

Hope surgery went well for you!

Good luck!

Hope it went well!!! Update when you can!

Good morning,

Reporting from my hospital bed with a significantly smaller tummy.

I had a verttical sleeve gastrectomy at 12:00pm yesterday.

All went well. The staff at Humber are fantastic. Dr. Cyr (sp?) the anestheiologist is especially wonderful.

The tech infrastructure here is also really cool. While I was in surgery my husband could eatch my progress updates on an electronic screen in rh waiting room. He could also opt to receive text msgs, which he did while having a bite in the food court.

I had a tough time waking up and spent most of yesterday dozing. I only got one walk in late last night.

I vonited blood and clots last night too, which had them concerned but my vitals were stabled and it only happened once so they concluded it was irritation from the intubation. My throat is sore this morning.

I thew up a few more times in the night so they're trying out different pain meds. Soon I get to try apple sauce and I'm sooo excited!

The only pain I have is gas, but I haven't been walking. I plan to get going after breakfast.

This is a long update but I wanted relay mush as I can about my experience here at Humber. If you have any question please feel free to ask!
