See you on the flipside...will post here tomorrow when I'm back home.

Good luck!

Oh boy...as I'm typing this you are probably prepping for surgery or already in there. Positive thoughts are with you and welcome to Bandland :-)!

Keep us posted! I'm wishing you a speedy recovery!

Just said a prayer for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. See you in BandLand!

Good Luck to you! I hope all goes well!

Thanks all. I'm now back at home recovering. The pain isn't so bad at all. The gas makes my chest feel tight but I just move and sip Water.

Thanks for all the prayers and warm thoughts!

congratulations on working towards your new life!

i know you say the pain isn't bad but take my word... use the pain medication as directed! don't let yourself feel a lot of pain before you take the meds!

Oh yes...I will definitely manage the pain. I'm not going to be a martyr here.

Will let you know how it goes.

I didn't need pain meds past day one post op. Once I was off them I felt so much better. Give your body time between each dose to assess whether you need another dose or whether liquid tylenol will so the trick. Sounds like you did well! Welcome to the other side!
