Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Well, I made it home and thanks for the encouragement. I had open RNY on December 3 and came home on December 6. All went well, though the waiting was horrible. I was supposed to be there at 9:30 at the latest, so to beat traffic I ended up being there at about 8:15. Then I waited until about 10:15 before they took me back into preop. Once I was in preop, they were so busy getting me ready that I didn't have time to worry and I knew it would be alright. In recovery, I panicked while I was waking up, but they continued to talk me through it and I was alright. Then I was stuck in recovery for 8 hours while they waited for an empty bed. I was not allowed to get up (what misery). So I just started doing foot circles to prevent blood clots and deep breathing to prevent pneumonia while I was lying there. I came out three days later and still have absolutely no appetite. The kids even had pizza last night and I didn't even want to look, it was so repulsive to me! I am so happy that I did this and didn't chicken out! I can't wait to weigh myself, but I'm scared to, I really don't feel like I've lost anything in a week. Probably going to wait another week or two before I do. Just wanted to say that the information on this group is amazing! Everybody's support is great. 317/?/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
