Thank you all its hard to know whats supposed to be normal and i felt like this is never going away. Now i know ill get through it!

No one seems to talk about the pain. It hurts to even breath. I know i just had major surgery but not even the meds in the hospital brought my pain level down. Morphine was a joke and did nothing. They ended up giving me deladid every 2 hrs and lortab every 4 and still was in extreme pain. So then i got released last night and am at home trying to manage on Percocet every 6 hrs. Is this amount of pain normal? It wraps all the way around to my back and i cant take a full breath. Please someone tell me it gets better soon idk if i can take too many more days like today

Im scheduled for 10 and going through the same thing!

Can anyone tell me when they got tested for smoking before the surgery. I am struggling and dont want to screw up and not get my surgery. I have had so much going on the last cpl months and this is all so stressful enough just having a major surgery. Now im 3 weeks before my sugery and i had quit but backslid. If anyone feels like sharing or has any advise i could use it right about now

I was told at the first seminar that you can take Biotin its over the counter to help with the hair loss issue and i think you can start it before the surgery but ask your doc or nut
