I went in to the hospital yesterday at 0930 for my Gastric Bypass surgery. Was scheduled to be in the OR at 1100. Well, that was the plan anyway! I finally got in at 1530 and was out at 1800, a new member of the RNY club!

The surgery went very well and I was feeling no pain... until today when I got home! No more IV drip with painkillers. I foolishly didn't think I'd need the Oxycodone because I really wasn't feeling much pain at all. I let the pain get ahead of be before I wised up and took a dose of the painkiller. It's nothing excruciating, but it is very uncomfortable and tender.

But the great news is that I finally had my surgery! I am a happy camper!

    So happy to hear that all went very well other than the time setback which is minor. Glad you are at home resting and getting stronger with each day to come. I can't wait to watch this stage of your journey unfold. Feel better soon. :flowerforyou: :smile:
