Tomorrow is the big day. I am preparing for tomorrow. butterflies. I am the first in my family and so this is uncharted waters. I will be up getting ready at 3:30am to go to the hospital. Praying for a quick release those around me are falling apart. You know women take care of everybody and it gets hard to fight for the time to make your life better.

I also have some problems with the adhesive they stuck over the steri-strips. On my right side i took off the bandages yesterday and my skin has blisters on it. I have been coating it with triple antibiotic ointment. But everywhere else looks good. My strips are still on. I am working on getting all this sticky stuff on my stomach off. They used a antibiotic scrub on my skin before surgery and it is really sticky. My pain is much better today and hopefully better tomorrow. How is everyone esle feeling? I had my surgery in Minnesota.

After I had my surgery the nurse told me.to remove the steri strip tape after 5 days or it would cause a reaction on the skin. Hope this helps ladies take that tape off!

I had my surgery on Monday, steri strips are still on. They told me they would fall off on their own. I'm feeling pretty good, going to try to get through the day without pain meds.

They told me to leave them on and they would fall off on their own in 7-10 days. I still have alot of gas pains today. I am hoping to get out if the house today and get some hydrocortizone cream and gas-ex to see if those work.

Hope everyone is doing well after Monday. I wish i could get rid of these gas pains in my back. I guess walking is the answer since they don't bother me when I am up.

I hate my stomach. It is constantly hurting. i tried eating some yogurt and i was not ready. i crawled to the bathroom. i want this to go away.

Today is the first day that I woke up and feel like my stomach is not bloated. Yaay!
