Does anyone else have to have a stupid tube that leads to your big old stomach for six weeks? I have one, and it is the main source of my post-op pain. I hate it. It hurts when i laugh!

I know what you mean! I got this tub of candy covered popcorn from my boss! I just threw it under the tree. Gonna let the kids much on it tomorrow!

Ok. So I had my surgery on 12/20. I just got released to come home today. Hospital stay was way longer than expected, but I have an over cautious surgeon. I had my gallbladder removed. And the surgery took over two hours longer than expected. Surgeon said it was the biggest fall bladder he had ever seen. That was an awkward thing to learn. My surgeon said he was shocked that it hasn't caused me problems. Wierd! The most awful pain was the second day. Another trippy part for me was having this tube removed from me this morning that was inside my body. When she pulled it out, it felt like a snake was in my body. Such a yucky feeling. I still have a tube that stays in me for six weeks. I hope it doesn't feel that way when they remove that one.

Had surgery on the 20th, but am getting released today. Can't wait to get home! I have two small kids who are expecting Santa to come tomorrow night. And I have a lot of wrapping to do.

So I'm getting ready to head to the hospital. So scared. Please send positive thoughts and prayers my way. See you on the other side. I will let you know how it goes.

I'm scheduled for 8am In the morning too! Freaking out!!!

How did you take Vicodin. They say I have to crush the pills and drink with water. Is that what you did?

Had a really rough day at work. My boss has made this super hard on me, including asking me to postpone my surgery when i had it scheduled last month, and today He was just down right cruel. Criticizing my work, asking "what's wrong, too hungry? " Insinuating that my diet has made me incompetent. I cried for over two hours. He knows my surgery is on Friday. And that I am stressed and scared. I don't understand how he can be so mean.

My surgery is Friday the 20th. I am so scared/nervous/anxious times ten. I feel like run away bride.... what the hell did I get my self into? Lol. Too late to turn back now. Just hold my breath and hope for the best. I'm hoping it is not worse than child birth. I did that twice... like a champ. That I can do. This... not to sure about. Can anyone answer... which is more painful this or child birth?

Had my pre-op appointment today which included checking in with the hospital, paying the rest of my expenses, and pre-admit testing including ekg, lung xray, blood work, and urine sample. 37 days smoke free! Diet starts in two days. Pardon my language, but s**t just got real!
