Revision From Band to Sleeve complete!!
Hey everyone.... I am home and feeling really good!! Went into surery at 9:15 and was out at around 11 am. I had a hernia repair while I was there. Tuesday after surgery I wasn't in pain as much as much as I just felt like crap. I think someone was in my room ever fifteen minutes that first night. Wednesday I had to hit my pain pump a good bit. By that evening it was all good. Thursday morning I was doing really good. I walked a lot and was less sleepy and could form sentences. I did not have to use the pain pump at all and was really feeling good about that. It felt good to be AWAKE.... Then I got up to use the restroom..... my sweet, loving husband was so good to me. He said "hold on babe let me help you with the IV pole".. then I heard him say "OOPPS".... I was like..... What... What are you OOPPS ing about?? He looked at me all sheepish and said " I accidentally hit your pain button".... so far about 4 or 5 hours before I was released I could hardly keep my eyes open. I was released Thursday evening and then we had to drive the 2 hours home. I don't remember any of that because I slept like a baby.
The only pain I have now is some of my incisions have a burning feeling sometimes and my back, neck and shoulders are killing me from laying in that Hospital bed and then I slept in my recliner last night. Other than that I am Fantastic!!
