Pain after surgery
it's weird I'm 3 days out and don't feel the need for the pain meds. Only pain right now is the incisions which are also starting to be itchy ( don't know if it's the scaring or the tape over it but the area is itchy right now.)

Blisters
Did anyone experience blisters after surgery I woke up with on massive blister (size of a regular bandaid ) under a bicep. Doctor says it's probably a reaction to some bandage chemical, but I did not get any bandage around there. I poked it to flush it, but now it just keeps refilling with Fluid.

Farts and burps
So my surgery was Monday (june 27) at 10pm. and even though I sip sip sip and walk. all I seem to do is burp. will I ever fart I feel like the major pressure in my stomach is my inability to pass gas. Also my nurse told me not to use Gas x yet .

6/27 two days post op
Just got home from the clinic. Pain is tolerable. for some reason I ended up with a few huge blisters (the size of a band-aid) on one arm and on my stomach. Dr. think i Must be allergic to one of the adhesive in the bandages. I wish I could just let one loud burb out that is the only discomfort I have so far. Oh and I'm starting to feel my incisions sting. But hang in there.. getting up and out of bed still the worst.

Probably most stupid question
I didn't even know about the cath. I'm the kind of girl who gets embarrassed easily (ego I guess) had a pre-op gastroscopy last week and was so embarrased with the way I burped so long and loud when the doctor pulled the camera out

Thank you... it's nice to see what goes on outside.

OMG why did I do that?
I am a very curious person and since my surgery is next Monday I was curious about the procedure how it's done etc. So of course youtube as all the live video answers you need, but that just made me nervous even more. My mind is over reacting with all horror movies scenario and stuff I've seen. trying to take deep breaths to relax. Somehow rethinking my choice. That's a normal step right???

What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
I'm sick of paying for fat girl clothes. which is 3 times the price of regular clothes in many stores around here regulare dull t-shirt can be 50$ in these stores. and I just want to be able to look in the mirror and stop saying that I look like pig and no one will ever want me. I want to love myself again.
