  2. Same thing you'll hear from everybody else I think. Get up and walk whenever you can. Sip sip sip. Press a pillow on your belly if you have to sneeze or cough helps with the pain. Ask for pain meds before the pain gets bad, it's easier to control if you catch it early. First couple of days were really rough for me, but it gets better. Hang in there, it's gonna be all good!
  3. Whats weird is every person I've read has had their tummy taken out on the left, mine was taken out on the right!
  4. Ifeel for you,i absolutely hate feeling nauseous. I haven't been nauseated at all, thankfully.
  5. The incision pain is the worst where they took the stomach out. I guess it is about a six, I just was getting worried since it seemed like I was having more pain than I should, but I guess I'm right where everyone else was. its hard to get comfortable cuz I can't lay on my side, it hurts to much. but whats more uncomfortable is this gas pain I think. Ugh I'm so bloated and it feels like it's never gona move.
  6. I read alot on here before my surgery, and it seemed to me that most people didn't have that much pain.i know everyone is different, but I am really uncomfortable. Just wondering how everyone else was affected.
  7. Yeah I totally cried on the way into surgery. Lol. Lots of pain yesterday and last night, more tears, told the midnight nurse I wish I never would have done it, but of course that was the pain and exhaustion talking. Feeling a bit better this morning. Slow going but it's getting there. Hope everyone else is doing awesome!
  8. I'm feeling a little better now, but honestly this is so rough. Alot of pain yesterday, it's gonna get better though!
  9. Good luck to you guys as well! Here goes!
  10. I hope so. Sitting in the waiting room now. eek!
  11. Off to surgery in the morning! Wish me luck, I'm so nervous!
