Had surgery (I'm sure there are some that don't care...LOL)

I'm back and my surgery went well.  I went to my PCP today and they checked my incisions and everything looks good.  I'm pretty sore, feel like I was run over by a Mack truck!  Right now I'm working on fluids, my kids keep telling me to drink, drink, drink...uuuggghhh!

My PCP reviewed my surgical/recovery notes, and looked at my fluro pics that they did for leak tests.  He said everything looks weird, but in a good way.  Man that blue dye and other leak test drink were horrible...I'm such a baby when it comes to those kinds of things.

I'm happy to be home and now I'm going to rest, walk, and drink.  Oh, and even though I'm supposed to be worrying about recovery, I've lost 15 lbs...that's a nice little boost to the self-esteem.

Welcome home, Dawn. I'm glad everything is going well. Sounds like you're doing all the right things.

 I hope you are one of those people whom the band works for!  I really do!  Best to you!

I actually had a revision from the lapband to the DS.  The lapband just didn't work for me.

Welcome home. Hope your recovery remains uneventful.

Mack truck? Yeah, that sounds about right. Speedy recovery!

So glad you are home and on the road to recovery.

Congratulations on being switched. Please continue to take good care of yourself.
Water is the most important thing.

So glad that you are on the mend! Take it easy and drink up

Speedy recovery!

Don't be afraid to speak to your doc about post op pain, if you're so uncomfortable you can't move around they can tweak your dosage to help manage the pain. Don't do what I did! I tried to be a trooper and just live with the pain, luckily my hubs talked some sense into me. What a world of difference good pain management made!
