I didn't have any real pain after surgery. For about 24 hours it hurt to cough or laugh, but I learned to hold onto my tummy so it didn't hurt so much. And by "hurt" I mean it felt like I had done about 500 sit-ups, not agonizing pain.
Get some GasX strips for the gas. They worked for me.

I have been hearing about that gas pain, and that walking makes it better. Thank you so much for your well wishes
And the same to you on your journey !!

Well I guess I have nothing to worry about because that had to be the WORST pain ever !!

Just remember that he loves you for what is on the inside, and proposed to you just the way you are. I went from a size 14 (when we got married) to a 24, and now back to a size 10. My husband has always been attracted to me, he has told me that he is attracted to my confidence, personality, brain, and my sense of humor.

Here's a thought to help you all through the recovery and your time off:
Whenever you're feeling rough or wondering if you will be ready after a week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, just think of me. I have a history of terrible recoveries from procedures and I will have 2 nights (one would be a regular work night and one is a night I'm off) in the hospital and hopefully 2 nights when I get home (one a regular night off and one a work night). So, that will be only 2 nights off of my home desk job.
That should make you take a sigh of relief!

Oh my gosh! That is 82 people so far with dates (or possible dates) in December!
I know there are more who haven't joined us, but can't believe that there are 82 who have!!

I completely understand how you feel. My Dr office faxed in my paperwork and said it should only take 2-3 days. After five days I called in for progress. They said nothing yet, told me to be patient that sometimes it takes longer. By the middle of the next week I was going crazy. I called my ins. And they said they never received anything from my Dr office. So they had to resubmit the paperwork and that meant another 4 business day wait. Then... after all that because these surgeons are so popular it was another six weeks out for my surgery date! By the time it finally got here I was glad for the extra time. Just remember that everything happens for a reason and you will have your surgery when you're meant to. It will happen and you will do great!

I just faxed my letter to my surgeon and that was all they needed.

I was sleeved yesterday around 2 or 3 pm. My surgery was delayed due to an emergency My surgeon got called to do. I was pretty calm the whole time. My hospital offered aroma therapy and they had very soft music playing in the background so that helped calming my nerves. Woke up from surgery in a lot of pain, and excruciating pain in my chest from the gas. Was given pain meds and As soon as I was in my room I did some walking and that helped so much. I slept pretty well on my back. Today in the morning I woke up with minimal gas pain and very little incision pain. What is most annoying is the nausea and occasional headaches. Meds can take care of that. So for those of you worried about the pain levels, there's really not much that can't be taken away with pain meds. Walking is extremely important for the gas. I was given some broth, Jello, tea, Italian ice and Water for dinner. The broth tasted like food for the gods and so did the ice but I couldn't eat not even half of both. Slow sips are the trick. Now I'm in bed typing this and so happy that I found this site with so many wonderful people and inspirational stories and great advice. I thank you all. I gained four pounds since surgery after losing six on my 7 day preop diet. I'm not stressed though cause I know it's all the IV Fluid. Anyway, you all take care. It feels pretty awesome finally being on the losers bench! XO to all!

Sing it, sister!
I work from home so I keep all my Protein bars, nuts, Jerky, etc. in my office. My cold foods are in the bottom drawer of the fridge and everyone knows no touchy. It's getting better now that I am farther out and can find more things to eat.
My two teens know they can have anything they want, they just can't have the LAST one. My husband, on the other hand, deserves a regular b***h slapping.
