I had my surgery early Thursday (Nov. 10) morning and I'm feeling great. The surgery lasted less than one hour and by 1:00 p.m. I was home in my own bed a little bit and walking a little bit. I spent most of Friday out of bed walking around the house. Saturday I didn't lay down at all. Pain is minimal. Today is Sunday and I plan to go to work tomorrow.

I had previously had a gallbladder surgery and was expecting that type of pain, but it was nowhere close.

What a great experience this has been so far. Much better than I had anticipated. And I've lost 10 pounds in these last few days - which I am sure is mostly Fluid - but who cares it is weight loss.

Hope all the others having surgery in the next few days, weeks, months, years have the same experience as I have had.

Congratulations, and welcome to bandlandia!! It's wonderful that you're feeling great. Don't try to do too much too soon, though; you're still healing and there may be a down or two before you're recovered fully. Remember to be GOOD to yourself!!

Healing is wonderful--it's so amazing to be feeling better each day than the last.

Glad to hear your good news, Carolyn! It will only get better and better...be sure to cme here for info, advise, news, and hugs! Take it easy, and sip, sip, sip...walk around some, too! Here's to your quick and speedy healing! Cindy

Carolyn,

Im so glad to hear how great your recovery has been so far.

But I echo what Alex said - take it slow, you are still recovering from surgery.

Doing too much - too soon isnt wise!!!

Happy Healing!

I'm so happy that you are doing so well, I had to stay in the hopsital over night and got home the next afternoon by 2:00. Take it easy and God Bless
