My surgery
Well I joined the losers bench on September 6th at 12:30 pm I woke up having some problems with my breathing so had to stay a few more hours in recovery but after that I was taking to my room where they took very good care of me besides my right arm sweeping up the size of a small melon cause reaction to morphine they iced it and put warm compresses to get sweet g down I only stay overnight I'm home getting use to my tool it hurt as I sip anything wheat her it's cold or warm everybody saying it will go away only pain is from the larger incision where they removed the stomach and the drain spot is aching but other than that I happy and ready to start my journey lets do this tool??.
I'm glad you are thru the surgery and on the loser's bench!
It takes some time to get accustomed to the new tummy, but you'll get to the point where it'll feel normal again. And you'll love the weight loss.
Congratulations and best wishes,
Carol

As you're probably already discovering, drinking liquids gets easier almost by the hour after surgery. Keep sipping whether it hurts or not. Dehydration is your number one enemy at this stage. Good luck!
