I got my Revision ... Round 2

Dec 12, 2012

A week ago today I had surgery to get my lapband out and gastric bypass.  Surgery day 1 was a little rough.  I didn't come out of surgery as peachy as I did for my lapband.  I had a hard time with nausea and I kept my eyes closed and a cold rag on my head. I don't know if it was the gas in my stomach or what but I felt so sick.  I did vomit in Recovery blood and it hurt my belly when contracting to get it up.    I slept the night all druged up and then the next morning bring and shiney at 8ooam the transport was there  picking me up for my Upper GI.  I went there and vomiting again so was sent back to my room.  All day I wa  s put on hold , no water.  They told me I would be going for another UGI in the morning.  When the Dr. came in the next morning he said I wouldn't have to do it.  I was started on 30cc of water an hr for 8 hrs.  I did that all day and walked my ass off.  I walked so much around that hospital to get the gas out of me.  I also asked to decrease the pain meds from 2 to 1mg dialudid because I felt like a zombie. By saturday morning I felt great.  I didn't  have the pain just a little sore in the belly.  I was so ready to go home.  They finally discharged me after watching me eat some jello and broth.  

I am so happy to finally be done with the lap band and start my journey with RNY I lost 12 lbs already and it's just the begining.
