Wonderful news!! Congrats!! Will u be spending the night??

Yes I am spending the night 1) because I have a bleeding disorder so as a precaution 2) I live 6 1/2 Hours away from my surgeon. I honestly don't know how people handle going home just hours after surgery, I am having pain just on my port incision and gas pain in my chest and shoulders.

Thank you all for your support, it means so much! I'm not sure I could have gotten through this without LBT members! Everyone has been amazing. Even if it isn't a thread I reply to, I have read so much that has gotten me through this process!!!

Congrats!! And hope you have a speedy recovery.

Congrats and sending you a bunch of healing vibes!!!!

They did not give me anything for the gas. I tried the gas x strips on my own that I had brought to the hospital, I didn't think they helped. What helped me was my husband would massage the areas where I felt the gas pockets and then I would go walk down the halls of the hospital. I think everybody's experience is different and you just have to figure out what works best for you!
