I just wanted to update everyone on my surgery with Dr P in Houston on the I8th. I went in at 9:00am to day surgery to let them get me ready. I had a about a 2 hour wait there while the doctor was working on his first patient. I was scheduled to go in at 11:00 for surgery but it was like 11:30 when they took me back. Everything went wonderfully and I awoke in recovery feeling very dry mouthed.
They gave me some ice chips and it helped. I had a little pain in my stomach area so they gave me some pain meds. After a little while I got up to my room and had to go to the potty. All those ice chips I guess. lol I tried to walk in my room for a few minutes but the nausea hit so I laid back down and let the nurse know. She gave me something for nausea and I was up and walking within a few minutes.
I was released the next day just after noon. We made the 2 hour drive back home and I was a little stiff and sore when I got home. I walked at home to loosen up and it helped. I haven't had any nausea since I got home. Showered this morning and removed the bandages replacing it with large bandaids. Still alittle stiff and sore today but I would do it again to help me get this weight off. Thank you for all the prayers sent my way and I will keep you all in mine.
