Had Surgery Alone In Mexico?

[FernandinaGin 26]

72 hours post op and I'm back at work. Did a 14 hour shift yesterday, prob a little much, but feel great. Still having gas which is uncomfortable, but no pain meds, not even Advil. I've felt hungry a couple of times and feel like I could eat just a small amount of solid food, until I try it. Lol I guess the liquid, then mushie, then food order is for a good reason. sugar free gum is my best friend right now. I'm down 9lbs in 7 days, since the beginning of my 3day pre op liquid diet. :-)

Yeah, my biggest fear was blowing the 3 day liquid pre op diet and having to cancel surgery. I didn't realize how often I eat unconsciously. I'm not a gum chewer, so unless I was drinking my meals I kept sugarless gum in my mouth, then when I'd grab something (food) to stick in my mouth I had to remember why on earth I was chewing gum. Sounds silly but it worked.

So i wanted to get your opinion. I am planning on returning to work on monday after saturday surgery. I just sit all day so it is not intense. Based on your amount of pain, do you think I will be okay? I have a high pain tolerance I think. I had my wisdom teeth pulled without pain meds. Thanks for helping! Keep us updated on your progress.

I'm going to Dr Kuri on November 7. I was going to go to another dr who is allot cheaper but the RN for dr Kuri talked me out of it she said that they don't practice in a real hospital but a stored front clinic??
