I just got home about 6 hours ago from the hospital Everything went well. Surgery started about 2 o'clock yesterday. I woke up in recovery about 4:30. I hate waking up out of anethesia. I get so panicky. I was sick to my stomach too. They gave me somethng for nausea immediately. I have 4 little incisions and a larger one (about an inch) where my port is. I had a pretty restless night. I finally just got up at 2 and walked the halls. They were pumping me so full of fluids that I kept having to go to the bathroom and it was big ordeal to get unhooked from everything. I have an IV, heart monitor, pulse ox, and inflatable ballon thingies on my legs to prevent blood clots. I finally slept from 3:30 to 6. My heart rate kept falling under 50 while I was sleeping so the nurse came in and woke me up a few times. I think I was scaring her. This morning I had a upper GI, everything went down okay. I had some jello and they sent me on my way. I had about 3 oz of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of vanilla frozen yogurt a while ago. I think I'm full. It's kind of hard to tell. My stomach is make some really weird sounds and LOUD. I can already tell eating is going to be a whole new learning experience. Also, the gas that they fill you abdomin with to do surgery has setlled in my bask and side. So, I've been laying on a heating pad for that. I'm getting around real good. Even stopped at the grocery store on the way home. Some say day three is the worst but I'm trying to stay positive. They say the best thing is to walk, walk, walk. So, I'll be on the treadmill tomorrow.....unless it warms up significantly
