update from my surgery yesterday
I had my revision yesterday, band to RNY, and everything went great. The surgery took about 90 minutes and went very smoothly. I have had very little pain. Most of the pain was in my back, but as of this morning that is feeling better. Right now I am only allowed ice chips, but they taste very good. I get to move up to sipping water and clear liquids today. My mouth has been very dry and I have been very tired, but overall feel great. I have gotten up to walk a couple times, and the nurses have been very pleased with how well I am doing. Just thought I would update everyone. I am so excited for this new journey!

Thanks all! I am still in the hospital, but think I'm going home sometime today. I think I jinxed myself when I said I had no pain, because I had alot starting yesterday, especially in my mid back, and I m sooooo bloated. My nurses said that's from the gas used in the surgery and to just keep walking. I think I'll feel so much better when I can get rid of the gas. It feels like I've gained about 10 lbs, so that makes it frustrating when the whole purpose of this was to lose weight. I know I'm only a couple days out, but still.....
Glad everything went well. Congrats!
