Okay so I know im probably annoying everyone with my questions but im a newbie and im freaked out and the doctors office isnt open yet but i just had my surgery yesterday and the incision where the port is has a burning sensation going on and its really freakin me out! Im like in tears worrying about it and I just dont know if its normal! Also I am not sleeping well...took some pain meds at 830 fell asleep woke up at 10 with horrible shoulder pain I couldnt even lie down sat there til 1230 took more pain meds and then went to sleep and woke up at 430 like I dont wanna keep taking pain meds to be able to sleep! Wahhh the pain plus the little sleep is getting to me! Someone help!

I have yet to get constipated although I know it will happen between the pain meds and the diet. They said my pain would be on the left side but its mostly on the right side which was also the side with the IV. Thanks for your input

Glad to know im not crazy lol it has been absolutely terrible! It hurts more then my incisions. And im glad im not the only one who woke up in tears. I was afraid they would think im a big ol cry baby! Although I was asking for my mom too. Oh well I dont care how old I am I will always need my mom when I dont feel good! Thank you so much. I try to talk to friends about it but none of them have been through it so they arent very much help.

So I had my surgery today and I woke up with shoulder pain, they said its normal but its still a pain in the butt!! The pain meds dont do much for it. Its hard to get comfortable laying in bed. Has anyone else dealt with this and what did you so to help? Any ideas would be great thanks!!!

Im having my surgery done in exactly 9 hours! Im excited and scared all at the same time. Ive been emotional because I know its going to be a huge lifestyle change(in a good way). I just need to sleep but I cant!! I need some reassurance that everything will be fine! Also I have never had surgery before (im only 21) so as weird as it sounds my biggest fear is waking up in the middle of it! (I watch too much greys anatomy) has anyone else had these feelings? Please tell me im not crazy!

Tomorrow is my surgery and im sooo nervous and a little emotional! Any suggestions on how to deal with the nerves? Im going crazy!!

I have bcbs and my very first appointment was about 2 monthes ago and im havingy surgery this coming up Tuesday. It may just be the dr. I have 1 pysch appointment, 2 visits with dietitian, 2 physicals, and the labs, ekg, chest xray. It was a pretty easy journey.

I am having my surgery september 24th and I was wondering how long everyone took off work...ive was told whenever I feel well enough but I have to give my job a specific time frame. I work with people with disabilities so It can be hard work! Please let me know some of your opinions?!
