my hubby had bypass today and it went well
I promised a few of you that I would give an update. I was eating like crazy last week and having major anxiety but everything went really well. He is hopped up on the morphine so he has slept most of the afternoon. He barely takes tylenol so morphine is wiping him out. lol
They said that everything looks great and that he is an easy patient. He weighed in at 365lbs (his highest was about 385) but was really lucky with his health until recently. He was hovering big time with high bp, cholesteral, sleep apnea, etc but luckily he hasnt needed meds. Another few pounds or maybe another few months may have been pretty bad if he did not choose to have surgery.
Bypass still makes me nervous but that was the doctor felt was best for him. I am so excited for him to really experience the WLS ride. He can't wait to live a long life with our boys AND fit on the rides at Hersheypark with them. lol
Thanks to those of you that had us in your thoughts and prayers!

Yes, you are right. I actually almost passed out in his room today. I think it was a mixture of emotions, lack of nutrition, and seeing his blood....maybe a little sympathy for his pain. lol
I had coffee this morning and a protein bar during the surgery but got stuck on the last bite. His nurse had to being me a cold cloth, crackers, and apple juice. Last week I was eating too much, and so far this week Im not eating enough.
Im ready to get some kind of normal back!

Yes!! So glad to hear everything went well. I think it's great that you will be living similar lifestyles, now. It should make it easier, and he will have you to show him the ropes. Being a guy and having GBP I'm sure he will be riding those rides, very soon.
