March Sleevers
Hi gang -had surgery on Monday 3/9. All has gone well thank God. First night was horrible with gas pain - would have sworn I was having a heart attack. Day 2 that got better - so did the walking..no issues with leak test except the stuff that make u drink is the worst crap EVER. Have had no issues with intake at hospital or home. My doc gave me option to go home after 1 night - but I opted for two nights in hospital - so so glad I did!!! All the pre-op is worth it...hang in ...stay strong ..pray & get support from family & friends..it is all worth it!! Good luck to all
