Thanks for all the swinging lizards. I'm home and due to take another Percocet in 30 minutes. Things went a little longer 'cause they ended up using mesh to hold the bladder up than they anticipated.

I have 4 new little laparoscopic incisions. No pain on the outside just a little on the inside...like cramps at this point.

They've given me both Flagyl and Cipro to take and ibuprofen. Lots of pills...

It was fun watching the nurses and techs reaction to all the vitamin D3 I take. lol They aren't all up on the DS aftercare even though they are starting to do the surgery there. They are a WLS center of excellence bu only added my surgeon and the DS last year. They said I didn't "look" like I'd had WLS because I looked healthy and not like gray melted candle. I have feeling they only see patients that aren't taking enough vitamins and not getting enough protein.

Anyway, going to nap again. In a few. You guys are awesome!

Thanks, Cindy. I'm sure you guys will keep each other accountable and strong. We are each ambassadors of WLS and we want to be in tip top health so we can prove the naysayers wrong. lol

I was going to say get plenty of rest...but the pills will likely take care of that. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thanks, Shannon. The pills are helping a lot, they just don't play nice with others. I gotta re-figure my vitamin schedule. I think there are going to be some midnight or later doses. [sigh]

Yep, the deep breathing is what I need to work on. I think hubby is going to have to go find my old breathing contraption in the basement. That thing helped so much after my back surgery and WLS too.
