  1. I had my surgery Oct.10, 2012. I remember waking up in recovery and being in alot of pain in my chest and shoulders...maybe a 9 or 10. I also remember that I couldn't breath very well. I remember asking for something for the pain and the nurse told me when I could breath better she would give me something. I told her if she would give me something for the pain, I could breath better.... But that was from the gas they put in me to do the surgery. By the time I got to my room I'd say I was at a 4. After that, the day of surgery, I'd say it then went to 2. I had some nausea also for a couple of hours that first afternoon. But since the day of the surgery I've not had much pain at all. Just soreness. Over all the pain and nausea was a lot less than I expected ( Thank the Lord) What real pain I've had is eatting a bite or 2 too much. I still do that every now and then and it hurts.
