Reading this has made me feel so much better. I had surgery nearly 3 weeks ago with a small hernia and the left shoulder pain was awful. It is also my getting full warning. It also acts up if I push to hard exercising. I have had a good last few days of it not hurting, so hopefully it's done. So weird this a thing.

Well surgery was at 7:30am, woke up in recovery at 9:30 with tightness in chest that decreased slowly. No nausea, taking fluids well. Also no pain where they made the incisions. They gave me oxy for pain which helped take the edge off. Feeling more normal by the hour, I've walked 3 times so far.

That is so kind of you, thank you , I'll be sure to update all the details tomorrow.

My surgery is tomorrow, 7am Aug 6th.

Getting on wellbutrin, (bupropion) was the only way for me. Go to your doctor ask for it, it is a wonderful antidepressant with a side effect of not wanting a cigarette. I quit within a week of taking it and stayed on it for a year. It also gives you a great energy boost and you lose weight too. I had quit many times by myself prior, but always started back up again. This was the easiest and less stressful way I tried, I also have no desire for a cigarette since. Smoking is so bad for your body, you realize how much better you feel when you quit and you want to keep that feeling. I wish you the best!

Joining! My surgery date will be August 6th. In 47 days. I'm nervous yet excited, the last 6 months flew by.
