Surgery Date was Monday April 8, 2013

Flew my mom in. She had no idea what I had going on.

The day started well and ended well.

Got to the hospital at 6am...didn't hv to be there til 8 because a surgery ran behind.

Nervous I grew. Blood pressure was low...respirations were high. I began to calm down as my Mother and daughter and 2 girlfriends began to reassure me.

Went back to be put to sleep. Awoken having been told I had hernia repair. I got up and walked the hall. All the gas expelled. I have had no pain. I walked my block with my mother yesterday. Still no apetite. Just juice, Protein drinks, broth, Water, Jello and gatorade.

Today no pain meds. Still no pain.

God is good. So far this has been the best decision I have made.

Recovery has been great. I was so scared of the gas. I hv prior bloodclots so im moving around alot so that may be helpful.

Just wanted to give my update and success story

Just got back from walmart. Took some Protein shakes back "atkins" they were giving me gas. walked around the store. My mom told me to get juice not concentrated. Got more gatorade. I am having to drink the muscle milk. its the only one so far that doesnt gas up. Any other ones you ladies know about.

It has been nothing but God's grace that has blessed me. If you ladies only knew my testimony. I am truly blessed to hv no pain.

Thank you ladies for all the encouragement!!! I love this website!!!!
