Just made it home from the hospital. Feeling pretty good just some discomfort from the gas in shoulders and chest making it a little hard to get a good deep breath. Ice pack on stomach as instructed to help with swelling.

Good luck Tracie... The leprechauns will be with you. It is pretty easy.. Just feels like you get punched in the stomach a few times. The anxiety and the shoulder pain was about the worst for me. Good luck, keep us posted!

Congrats I am in the 15th so a little nervous

Tracie71 - How are you doing?

Hi surgery went well but I can't sleep... It's 1am and I feel like someone has punched me in the chest the nurses are great druged as much as she can for now. Having a walk around and a cup of tea that seems to have helped. We got soup earlier and I couldn't finish it that's a first.

Tracie---Give it a day or two and the worst will be over! I was home after about 6 hours in my own bed. So at least you are being watched over until that point. Get some rest and dream skinny! Keep me posted.

Tracie- glad your surgery went well. I had the same issue. Couldn't sleep for two night mouth was like cotton.. But Trust me it gets better .. I'm on my 6th day post op and starting to feel better ..rest sip and sip stay hydrated .....
