Well I had my surgery on Wednesday the 24th. The surgery went off without a hitch, surgeons both said it was a beautiful surgery and was actually pretty easy. I woke up with a lot more pain then I was expecting. I stayed in the hospital until yesterday because my HgB and HcT were declining. However, they eventually stabilized and I was good to go. I went home last night with a lot of pain and was still unable to tolerate my shakes. I was doing okay with crystal light though. I was struggling with the pain meds, they were making me nauseous because of how awful they tasted. I went to bed in my bed, slept on my back all night and slept terrible. I woke up at 7am this morning and was nauseous, dizzy, in excruciating pain, and unable to tolerate anything by mouth. I had my sister bring me to the hospital. They admitted me again. I am getting fluids, pain and nausea meds, and giving my belly a rest. I regretted having this surgery this morning. I was pissed at myself for doing it. I don't think I have ever felt so bad in all of my life. I hope I begin to feel better soon.

Jamie-Sue,

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Glad the surgery went well though. Hope the nausea and pain abate soon. I think many experience some regret or even doubt their sanity. That will change with time.

Anyway, hope your journey gets easier.

Joy

Jamie-Sorry to hear you are having a bad time at the moment. Being nauseated is to be expected, especially in the beginning. After all, your tiny new pouch is healing right now and is a bit angry from all it has been put through *LOL* Your dizzy spells are probably from dehydration and low blood sugar so you should start feeling better from the IV fluids in a short while Hang in there, things WILL improve for you. Once you see the scale start moving it will all be worth it. Please keep us posted on your progress.
