My big day!

Today was it folks- my revision surgery! I am officially in the tiny tummy club : ) Yaaaaay!

My surgery went very smoothly and oddly enough I feel great, better than both of my lap band surgeries.

Here is my recap for anyone who is curious:

My check in was at 6:30 this morning and my surgery started right at 7:30am. I have no idea what time I woke up in recovery, but Dr. B said my surgery was about an hour and a half. He also said it was easier than he anticipated to work around my erosion damage. After I woke up a bit my husband, mom and sister came and sat with me. I felt pretty good right away and was hoping to go home sooner than later but my pulse and blood pressure were both a little low so they wanted me to stay and be monitored a bit longer.

I was discharged from the surgery center around 2pm.

Since then I have just been relaxing at home, taking my pain meds and sip, sip, sipping my water.

I'm about to go to bed now in the recliner, my follow up appointment is tomorrow morning at 7:30 am.

I'll continue to post updates.

Loves ya, Jen

PS. keep my sleeve twin sister Maria in your thoughts she got her sleeve surgery done today as well!
