The surgery went well. I remember waking up feeling like an elephant was sitting on my chest. They told me that was the gas that was pumped in my stomach and that it would go away. It did and I can say I was one of the lucky ones to not have any gas pains. So I ended up with a 103.5 fever the morning after surgery and had to stay an extra day. Came home and started to re-cooperate. I couldn't figure out why on day 5 I was in just as much pain as day one if not more. I was infected around my port and was leaking out of it. Gross I know but very painful. Today is day 3 of my Z-Pac antibiotic and the pain went from an 11 to a 1.5. I'm so happy to be feeling better and have the worst behind me. Now to get through the next 5 weeks of creamy soups and pudding before my first fill. I can't wait to chew food again..
