9 hours post op, I have trapped air in my abdomen and it is the worst! Where they actually did the surgery is just fine. Any ideas to get rid if the air?

On my way to the hospital!

Good Luck Nicole! On my way to the hospital, we will do just fine! Talk to you on the recovery side.

Glad you are doing well, keep us posted.

Tyra I'm with you can't sleep either.

Same here! We will do just fine.

Thank you rms2909! I will let you know as soon A I'm able.

I agree.

You are correct in this being a tool. I have come to terms with a lifestyle change. I have resolved the fact that I have to eat, exercise and just live healthier. My goal weight loss is 100 lbs and to begin exercising as soon S I get the ok.

Nervous here!

Thank you!

Oh we'll that's good, glad all is well post op. they told me if all goes well I will just be in overnight.

Surgery is at 7:30 am so as soon as I'm alert and oriented I will post.

I sure will. I'm glad I found this site.

How long was your hospital stay?

I have to so one shot a day for two week after surgery.

I also work for Davita! I'm currently doing PD.

Did any one get sent home with two weeks of Lovenox injections?

I just joined, my surgery is also tomorrow 7:30am at Methodist Houston Medical Center. Nervous but ready to get it done. Good luck to all of us tomorrow!

Hi my name is Larry and I'm a Registered Nurse in dialysis for the las 15 years. I'm actually having my surgery tomorrow at 7:30am. I was actually convinced to do the procedure after several of my patients had bypass to get on the transplant list. This will be my first hospitalization and surgery ever, no I'm a little nervous hut ready at the same time. My surgeon bases on my BMI on requires me to be NPO after midnight and hopefully just an overnight stay in the hospital. My pre-op consisted of upper GI, abdominal US, echocardiogram, EKG, CXR and about 11 tubes of blood. He said everything looked great so that's good. I will keep you posted.
