Home From Surgery On 7-2-12

Well, I did it! It feels a little anticlimactic I must admit. Scars are so not a big deal. However during surgery they found a hernia (which they had mentioned at pre-op, but said it was not one that it would require ANY intervention... wrong). I am in way more pain than I expected. I presume it's from the hernia repair more than the band placement. I only have some tenderness at the port site. Had to email my boss to add Thursday & Friday to my leave request (not happy about that). I walk a lot at work (2-3 miles daily on average) but at present I walk like an old man. I'm most comfortable with 1 pain pill & 1 muscle relaxer every 3-4 hours but only helps when I'm sittin on my behind virtually still. Getting up & down sucks but I've developed a pseudo system to aggravate my aches and pains minimally. Have had some basement gas, but have been having slight hiccup spells that I know are filling me up with air. The thought of the emminent belch is kinda scary. That's all for now! Back to bed :-p
