Home after surgery last Monday.

Hi! I have only good things to say about GBMC's Comprehensive Obesity Management Program (COMP). I had my laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy this past Monday (4/30) and stayed two nights in the hospital. Tuesday was the worst but my pain was always controlled and I had a nice private room. The most important things to do are: SIP-WALK-REST. Repeat. It's so important to walk. I didn't dispel any gas until late Tuesday afternoon and it was uncomfortable until then. Now it's Friday morning, I'm home, and I'm still on pain Rx every six hours or so. But I feel better every day. I'm also VERY GLAD I'm taking three weeks off of work!

This is my first post! I'm so excited that I finally got the appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Peter Liao. It's taken a long time to get this appointment and now I come to find out that he'll be out of the country for most of March! I got an appointment for lst week in April and I am psyched!
