I had my VSG surgery on Wednesday. Everything went real well with no major complications. I tried walking when I got back to my room but was experiencing some dizzy spells. On one walk, I made it half way don the hall and became very lightheaded and all I remember is that they put me in a desk chair and gave me some smelling salts. The nurses attribute this to the anesthesia in my system. That evening was a challenge as I had a lot of gas in my system and not being able to walk, I was not getting it out of my system. I hade sever shoulder pain like a muscle spasm. This kept me up most of the night. The pain meds gore through the evening. The next day I was able to start walking and felt much better. Was discharged last evening and felt great to be back in my house. If you don't ace one, I recommend investing in a recliner chair. I was able to sleep without any discomfort.
