Where the May sleevers i just got my date!
I had a hard time coming out if the anesthesia. I was totally out of it the entire time in the hospital. I felt so uncomfortable and being a control freak didn't go well. I expected to get right up and walk. I took 2 super short walks and could barely get out of bed. I was allowed nothing until the next morning after making sure I didn't have a leak. Then I had to drink about 4ozs of water so I could be discharged. I wish I would have laid off the morphine button a little.

Coughing a few days post op
I will wake up coughing a few times a night. It hurts so bad and my anxiety over coughing may be even worse than the pain itself. Wondering if this is normal, maybe getting stuff out from surgery.

Tips for getting Nexium down?
They gave me a powder mix to mix with 15 ml of water and I can't get past the taste. These gas pains are a killer but they won't go away. Any tips? Also the pain meds before bed to help me sleep. Can't get them down either. 3 days post op here.
