Surgery - 7 houts ago
Just walked around a short block in the hall. Feeling surprisingly good. Haven't had to use pain pump much either and no nausea. We will see what tomorrow brings.

I am at Newton-Wellesley hospital in Massachusetts. I had a VSG and a hiatal hernia fix. It took about 5 months to get to this point. Slept well last night. Sipping water now and seems to be going down well. Planning to do some walking as soon as someone is available to help.

Congrats to a fellow Massachusettsian! I had mine 3 weeks ago today and am feeling great! Mind you - my first 2 days home I was a little bit miserable, but it passed quickly and I no longer hate my surgeon and everyone associated with him!
