Just Had My Surgery Today.



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery at 11 this morning. All went well although I had a hiatal hernia they had to repair first. I haven't had pain meds in a while and the only thing that's really sore is where my port is anchored.

I can't wait to see what's ahead.

I had surgery today at noon! I also had a surprise hiatial hernia repair. I feel great tonight. Recovery was a breeze, I have a little discomfort from the air they used...my back and shoulders could feel better but so far I'm happy!

Good luck to you on your journey!!

Jen- nice to meet you. I know what you mean about the gas/air, mine was really bad just out of surgery but seemed to have gone away.

Where are you? What city? I live in Wichita but my surgery was in Overland Park, KS.

Good luck to you too.

I had my surgery at noon on the 18th too! I am taking the pain meds every four hours.... just decide to use it to 5 now instead of 4 and so on... Plan is to move to liquid tylenol on Sunday. Feeling fine except I am a little sore on my left where my port is. Good luck to all my band buddies

I've been up and around the house quite a bit, and walked to the mailbox(about 200 ft away). My two small kids are making me get up and around more than I really want to at this point.

How are you?

I am okay. I just don't know how much moving I am suppose to be doing. I get up and walk for 5 minutes around my house every hour is this not enough? struggling to get all my fluids in!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
