Hey guys I got my surgery April 5th at St Luke's Hospital in manhattan with DR Harvey Surgery was about 2 1/2 hours. Let me begin by I can't believe I did this surgery I was going to back down but my partner in courage me and told me it was for the best. Finally got it done first day and second day was horrible the gas pain that I felt was horrible and still feel discomfort. I left hospital on 4/7 after consuming the requirement liquids before leaving hospital. Once I got home I couldn't consume more then 1oz of liquids and I feel weaker then ever. I am on my third day of post surgery and not consuming my liquids so I try to consume more of the the pure Protein shakes. I am walking as much as I can an am hanging in there. I hope this gets better which I know it will..

Hey Good luck, I got my surgery Friday morning on the 5th I have alot of gas and it so discomfort. I was able to walk on first day but then it made me wanna puke so I stop and took meds. Today is just upper chest pain which doctor says us gas. I am not taking liquids as much every 2 hour I drink 1 oz.. Hopefully 2moro I go home.
