My surgery went well, but I was in a lot of pain the first 24 hours. There was a lot of pressure behind my breastbone, and it hurt to breath. My surgeon said the second day would be the worst, but for me it was better. Today is sooooo much better. First two days I was counting the minutes until I could take more vicodin. Today, I have gone 6 hours without any severe pain. Hopefully, tomorrow I won't need it. Today, I have felt well enough to really absorb what I have done and get excited about the future. I can't believe I actually did it.

I had my surgery on 8/7/09. It was done outpatient, and I was home within a few hours. I was in quite a bit of pain on Friday--more than I expected. Saturday was better and today is so much better. I can only drink Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. Surprisingly, I am not hungry. I can't imagine going camping.
