Today's THE day!!!!!

Well, the day has finally arrived that I have been anticipating and preparing for since May. I am scheduled for VSG at 8am with Dr Brian Spann at Vanderbilt this morning! So excited! Wish me luck!

I hope everything goes well!

Best of luck.  You'll do great, and you'll love the results!

Good luck!!  Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it!

Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery!

Thank you all for your well wishes. I am doing very well! I have very minimal pain, just soreness. They put an abdomenal binder on me even before I was awake after surgery and that has helped so much. Walking early and frequently is also key. I walked to the bathroom twice while in the recovery room. (I had to stay there longer waiting for a room to be vacated and cleaned) The plan is to be discharged sometime this afternoon as long as I can tolerate clear liquids. Still waiting for them to bring me some. 😀 I was restricted to 1 oz of ice or water all day yesterday and last night so looking forward to some Unjury chicken broth, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles, etc. but plan to take it slow. Nausea was minimal as well and was mostly in the recovery room. Thanks once again to you all for your thoughts and prayers. They mean so much! 

Happy to hear you are doing so well...I also had the binder.. After a while I ended up taking it off...it got to be annoying, but I don't think they gave me the right size.. I see you went to Vandy so you must be somewhere around Nashville... I am in Clarksville... Best wishes to you!
