Snacking is NOT Good
Okay so if we all hurt than what the *heck* is it ? I'll ask my doc on January 6th but the suspense is killing me. If anyone goes before me please ask lol. Betty, I was kinda getting worried b/c my port is by my bra line and there's no incision where it hurts. I'm glad I'm not the only one too LOL. Thanks Girls GEE MARGO !! 33 inches gone???????

How did you feel immediately after surgery?
Right after surgery I was in ALOT of pain, dang it hurt. The next day when I came home I was in tears b/c it was to long in between taking my pain meds. The 3rd day I was MUCH better and I continued to feel relief after that. Would I do it again........... YES !!!

Snacking is NOT Good
Isn't it strange. It doesn't feel like the stomach because the pain is on the left side by your waist. Loopy I don't have fill either, I'm scheduled for one in January. Can't wait b/c I can eat alot (just not at night LOL). Pat I hear you only to well on the goodies OINK Jachut, no, not like a stitch, it was on my side, like if you put your hands on your waist at your sides, right where you curve in... ouch. Cindy your not kidding that was a reminder. It hurt to sit so I had to walk around. Stupid me will probably do it again but dang, I'm gonna try not to. HUGS !!! Thanks everyone

Snacking is NOT Good
Dang gum it !!! Normally I don't eat after 7 pm b/c I go to bed at 8 and it just doesn't feel good sitting in my chest when I'm laying down and its to close to dinner. Anyway, I decided to let myself have some Snacks tonight. I had a few crackers (okay alot of cheese crackers), a handfull of M&M's and let me just say it was the WRONG thing to do. My chest didn't hurt, I didn't pb but my left side felt like it had a knife in it. I had to walk around like crazy and about 1 hour later I sounded worse than a room full of drunken sailors. I bet I came close to the world record with those burps. I feel better but what has me baffled is why would my side hurt? Strange eh. Lesson learned and hopefully NOT repeated.
